Jonas Vingegaard (DAN, Visma-Lease à Bike), winner of the 5th stage and new leader of Tirreno-Adriatico: “I had to go far in the effort, the pass was difficult and I had to keep a good pace to maintain others at a distance. I am satisfied with my form and the way we handled the race. I knew what I had achieved before coming here, I knew my form was good. I have always had confidence in myself.
Tomorrow (Saturday) is the big, big day, but we wanted to try today and I’m happy it paid off. Today’s stage was also an opportunity and you have to take them when they present themselves. I lost time on Ayuso in the time trial (22 seconds), but my power figures were good, so I preferred to take this performance in a positive way. »
