Following his emphatic win on the final stage of the Tour de Romandie, Fernando Gaviria sent out a warning to his sprint rivals prior to the upcoming Giro d'Italia.
"I'm really ready for the Giro d'Italia now," the Movistar Team sprinter told Eurosport immediately following his victory. “This race was very important to me, because I trained a lot in the run-up to the Giro. It went really fast on the toughest climb of the day. I had to release, but the team decided to wait for me. Fortunately, we came back quickly afterwards."

Indeed, the impressive win for the Colombian was made even better given the fact that he had spent the majority of the second half of the stage behind the race and chasing hard along with his team to get back into touch with the peloton.
“After that we did everything we could to win this sprint. That is why it is nice to give this victory back to the team," he continues. “I stayed focused in the final and waited for my moment. We started my sprint and clearly had very good legs.”
