As it happened: Narváez defeats Pogačar to win opening stage of the Giro
-
Here’s what stage winner Narváez had to say at the finish. “Following the best guy in the world on the climb was really hard, so it’s a special victory today. It’s still hurting me now. It was really hard, really, really hard but in the end, I made it.” “I think he went too long in the sprint, 200 metres after a really hard stage and I did a short sprint and in the end I took the victory.” “For me it’s amazing.There aren’t many opportunities in a Grand Tour to get the Maglia Rosa on the first day because you have a bunch sprint, a TT or a different stage. Today was a good opportunity. I worked really, really hard for it.”
