00:00:03.880 --> 00:00:07.800
For me the Giro d'Italia is something
that comes from afar,

2
00:00:07.800 --> 00:00:09.800
it’s really special.

3
00:00:09.800 --> 00:00:11.280
And so the Pink Jersey is something

4
00:00:11.280 --> 00:00:13.080
that people have been trying to obtain
for a very long time.

5
00:00:16.400 --> 00:00:19.720
Cycling is definitely a very, very demanding sport,

6
00:00:19.720 --> 00:00:21.680
probably one of the most demanding of all.

7
00:00:21.680 --> 00:00:24.200
And so you have to make a lot of sacrifices,

8
00:00:24.200 --> 00:00:27.000
and you need a lot of dedication,

9
00:00:27.080 --> 00:00:29.120
as well as a lot of energy.

10
00:00:29.120 --> 00:00:30.960
We use up a lot of energy on our bikes,

11
00:00:30.960 --> 00:00:34.760
even if this is energy that comes from us,

12
00:00:34.760 --> 00:00:37.000
but also from everything around us,

13
00:00:37.000 --> 00:00:39.360
our families, the environment,

14
00:00:39.360 --> 00:00:41.360
the stimulation of being out in the open.

15
00:00:41.360 --> 00:00:45.480
Because in any case for us,
being out in the open, in the sun,

16
00:00:45.480 --> 00:00:51.440
is also stimulating,
it helps us train harder and improve.

17
00:00:51.440 --> 00:00:54.360
In my personal life I try, wherever possible,

18
00:00:54.360 --> 00:00:56.520
to make everything more sustainable,

19
00:00:56.520 --> 00:00:58.120
from what we consume,

20
00:00:58.120 --> 00:01:00.600
using cars as little as possible.

21
00:01:00.600 --> 00:01:04.400
Using bikes: we use them
for short journeys, near home.

22
00:01:04.400 --> 00:01:07.080
And so all of us have this responsibility

23
00:01:07.080 --> 00:01:09.320
and we must all do our best.

24
00:01:15.680 --> 00:01:17.240
Cycling, as we know,

25
00:01:17.240 --> 00:01:19.760
is an individual sport,
but the team is fundamental.

26
00:01:19.760 --> 00:01:23.880
Today, for example, we’re here
to defend our pink jersey.

27
00:01:23.880 --> 00:01:26.600
Our leader will need the whole team,

28
00:01:26.600 --> 00:01:29.080
because it’s very hard to achieve
a good result by yourself.

29
00:01:29.080 --> 00:01:32.960
And so it’s a united group
that makes all the difference.
