Chaves To Win A Stage Was My Dream

Esteban Chaves of Orica GreenEdge has sais that it was a dream of his to win a stage in the Giro D'Italia.

Speaking about his win on Stage fourteen, Chaves said: "To win a stage at the Giro d'Italia was my dream since I started my pro career with Team Colombia, based in Italy. I love this race! To win the hardest stage is even better. I thank all the people who have helped me reach this point. Thank you also to my sport director Matt White who gave me precious information from the car, which helped me win today".

The new Maglia Rosa wearer Steven Kruijswijk said: "I was feeling really good. I asked my sport director if I should save energy for tomorrow's time trial or not. We decided that we wouldn't. I felt I was a little bit better than Vincenzo Nibali so it was the right day to take advantage of it. Luckily a strong guy came with me. It's an enormous satisfaction to take the Maglia Rosa, especially in such a wonderful setting as the Dolomites".
