"I did not use the brakes cornering while the car was telling me 'go, go'."
Those were the words of Andrei Grivko after stage one at Tirreno-Adriatico. Grivko touched 60km/h on the Camaiore seafront in Camaiore to finish coming 9 seconds back from stagewinner Adriano Malori of Italy.
Teammate Vincenzo Nibali finished two seconds behind Grivko but 10 seconds ahead of two of his strongest rivals in the mountain stages Alberto Contador and Nairo Quintana in the 50th edition of the Italian race.
“It was a good day and I’ve earned some seconds, so I suppose it’s a good day,” he told Cyclingews. “It was a very short, explosive time trial and I just gave it my all.
"I’m not building up my hopes and I’m not expecting too much from myself. I don’t think I have to get a result, I don’t think I need to win this race.”
