I’m very happy with it. The last one was a long time ago. We have had a lot of problems for the team. To win Il Giro di Sicilia brings us happiness again. It’s important for the morale. Tomorrow I’ll fly to contest the Amstel Gold Race. At this time of the year last year, I broke a collarbone during a training camp on the Teide. I lost three weeks of training. Before that break, I had got flu at home. It was a pity because I had started the 2022 season well with winning my first race of the year [Jaén Paraiso Interior]. Considering what happened in Spring, my Tour de France wasn’t bad last year. I came back to winning mood this week with the help of my sports director Giuseppe Martinelli who has a great experience. I have a lot of Italian friends so it makes me super happy to win here“.
