“Astana’s” Italian racer Davide Villella commented on his stage win in the Tour of Almaty-2018.
- This is my first win in “Astana” jersey and I am really glad it happened in Kazakhstan. After Spanish Vuelta I trained hard knowing that I will take ride in Almaty race. I think the race came out quite exciting. I am happy to be in Almaty and see so many cycling enthusiasts.
- What was your team tactics today?
- Initially it was planned that together with Luis Sanchez we will try to break away, and so we did. I would like to thank my team for excellent job. This is our common win.
- You have won in “Climb” classification in La Vuelta recently. Steep climb to the finish point at Medeo awaits you tomorrow. Are you ready?
- I trained hard for this. Let us see how challenging the route will be.
