For the third time this year, Derek Gee has had to settle for second on a stage of the Giro d'Italia. One of the standout performers of the race, victory still alludes him.
"He was so strong, I have to congratulate him, that was unbelievable," said Gee, full of praise for Nico Denz who powered his way to a second stage win of the race for the German. "That's a lot of second places. This was the narrowest. I did everything I could, but Nico kept going with nine hundred metres. I couldn't answer that, chapeau, that was unbelievable. There was nothing that could be done."

"The finish was just a few meters too early. When he celebrated he almost hit my face, it was so close," Gee continues who only lost out to Denz in a photo finish. "It's only getting worse; that first time was still great."
