Following his first victory in two years on stage four of the 2023 Tour of the Alps, Gregor Mühlberger was full of praise for 19-year-old breakaway companion Giulio Pellizzari who finished third.
Describing the Green Project-Bardiani-CSF-Faizanè rider who was looking to become the youngest ever stage winner at the Tour of the Alps as a "rocket", Muhlberger showed a touch of class by lavishing praise on the young Italian in his post-race interview.
"It has been hard to put up with the young rocket from Bardiani," said the Movistar Team rider. "He is a boy who will give a lot to talk about in the future. I am happy, very happy, thanks to the team, it has been great."
"It's been a long time since my last victory and I'm very happy, it's fantastic to win, especially for this team, it's great to ride with them," he continued. "There were 4 of us in the breakaway and on the last climb I gave everything to stay ahead."
