Quotes

"What can I say? I believed in man and in the athlete and it is right that I take all the blame because I made a mistake,” he said today in a statement. “Maybe I was wrong to believe that after a mistake you can redeem yourself and learn not to repeat the mistakes, maybe I'm wrong to want to help a person I saw in trouble, maybe I was wrong to follow the religious values that my family gave me, maybe I'm wrong in believing that when you talk to a person looking into his eyes, you can also read his heart."
"It feels great to win here," Carleton said. "It's been a hard week but I'm happy to get through my first big race in Europe for the season. It was a fun race and it makes the hard work worth it to come away with some wins."
"We're still doing a superlative Giro,” Scinto added. “Even today we were in the breakaway [with Matteo Rabottini and Danilo Di Luca - ed], every day we have animated the race, and on Saturday we won one of the most important and legendary stages. In short, our Giro is, and remains, superb."
"I see a very good Astana, but a very, very good Nibali, who has been able to cover everything that's been thrown at him so far," said Evans. "This Giro, compared to the dozen or so other grand tours I have done, really has been a test of teams, of concentration, of bike handling abilities, of physical abilities, of climbing, of being on the flats, being in the crosswind, being in the heat, being in the cold, the team time trial – everything has been such a test on everyone and everything involved in the race."
