Matteo Sobrero "really, really happy" with second career win at the biggest stage

Team BikeExchange - Jayco leave the Giro d'Italia with a negative balance as Simon Yates failed to be part of the GC contention, however they leave with three stage wins - the third one captured today by the means of Matteo Sobrero, saving the team's race in a way after Yates took two other wins.
“It’s an amazing feeling, I still have to recognise everything. But I’m really, really happy with the team, we won the first time trial and we won the last day, two TTs," Sobrero said after his stage-winning performance. Having set off early, Sobrero had a brilliant day and took over the lead, later having a time 23 seconds faster than Thymen Arensman - his closest competitor.
After his teammate Simon Yates won the opening time-trial of the race, Team BikeExchange - Jayco have shown once again their evolution in the time-trial discipline, this time having Sobrero as evidence of that work. "We did really hard work in the winter with our partners, with Giant, Cadex, Ale Cycling, and this is the result. All the work paid off," he said.
"Basically, the main goal of the day was I put the finish line at the top of the GPM and I said ‘I have to give everything until there’, then on the descent, I have to give what is left later. It’s unbelievable," Sobrero concluded thrilled. Besides the time-trial national championships last year, this win was only the second on the 25-year old's career, however an incredibly important one.
