QUOTES
Speaking seconds after the race finish, the winner Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates) said: “It’s really amazing to come back and repeat the victory. I tried to attack on Civiglio but Mas was clearly on the same level as me. I was still confident that I would beat him in the sprint. At Giro dell’Emilia, I was still suffering from the trip back from Australia, but I have felt better and better since. This victory makes it an almost perfect 2022 season for me.”
