Finishing 2nd on the first stage of the
Giro di Sicilia,
Vincenzo Albanese in his first race of the year, showed some impressive legs and is understandably happy with the end result.
"It was difficult to fight against so many UAE Team Emirates riders, but I showed that I am very good by winning the sprint behind the winner," the Italian,
EOLO-Kometa rider revealed in a post-stage interview with his team's official website. "I felt good, very good, but that’s not enough in the race. First race this year, second place… It’s good, but I’m sure we will do better.”
