- I am very happy with the race and if it is a good placement, it is a bonus, said Foss, who was able to include a third place, from the leader's seat to Eurosport before all skiers had reached the finish line in Turin.
- If I had not shot so badly, maybe I would still have been doing biathlon, Foss has previously said.
The winner listened to the cheers of the audience
When then the stablemate in Jumbo Visma, Eduardo Affini, cut the finish line three seconds faster at 8.57, Foss made a thumbs up and smiled behind the mouth guard.
The victory went to home skier tempo world champion Filippo Ganna, who won the three tempo stages when the giro was decided last autumn.
- I started with a small radio but I could not hear anything so I decided to press everything that went and listen to the audience after the track.
When they cheered for me, I knew it was going fast.
That's how I took this glorious victory, says Ganna according to Cyclingnews.
The classic will finish in Milan on May 30.
