Joao Almeida (Deceuninck – Quick-Step), still pink Giro jersey at the end of the 17th stage: “Today (Wednesday), it was not easy, it climbed a lot. I had a great team with me, I’m really happy for the whole team and I thank them all. I felt good, I had the legs. Tomorrow it will be much more complicated and I hope to keep the jersey for the Stelvio. “
