Maxime Monfort is the second GC rider for Lotto Soudal in the Giro d'Italia and is aiming for a good result in Milan in two weeks. After the first week, he is 17th, 4 minutes behind maglia rosa Alberto Contador.
"As expected, it was a super difficult stage yesterday," he said. "I was caught in a crash at the beginning, I did not hurt myself but it cost me a lot of energy to get back because the pace was very high with a peloton split into several groups. Subsequently, I was fine and I was able to follow the best behind the "three tenors" (Contador, Aru, Porte). Today is the rest day which will do good to everyone since the start of the Giro was really hard."
