Valentin Paret-Peintre : “It’s amazing!”
“I can’t describe what I feel now, it’s amazing ! I was in the breakaway to get a good result in a stage and why not a win. And I claim my first victory as a professional in a Grand Tour, it’s exceptional. Having looked at the race profile, I knew I had to attack in the last four kilometers because it was the hardest part, so I did. Doing it on the Giro d’Italia one year after my brother is special. Last year when he won his stage, my name was written by mistake on the bottle of Champagne. This time, I’m really the winner.”
Aurélien Paret-Peintre : “I’m really happy for my brother”
“Valentin rode a great race, he was simply the strongest. I couldn’t feel my legs at the end, but I made it to the end of the stage, it was great. I’m really happy for my brother.”
