May 5/12 13:29 pm - Giro d'Italia: Stage 1 full results
Posted by Editoress on 05/5/12
The USA’s Taylor Phinney (BMC Racing Team) won the opening individual time trial at the Giro d’Italia in Herning, Denmark, and so pulled on the first race leader’s pink jersey.
Phinney set a time of 10:26 for the 8.7km course, beating Geraint Thomas of Great Britain by nine seconds. Alex Rasmussen of Denmark was third at 13 seconds.
“Pulling on the maglia rosa is a dream come true. I’m incredibly happy,” Phinney said after pulling on the iconic pink jersey.
“When I was warming I felt it was going to be a good day. I have to thank my team and my family, who have always really believed in me. I hope this is just the start. Tomorrow is another day but tonight I’ll sleep happily.”
“I knew I could do something special but I had to go out and do it. I made sure I had some extra mojo for the last three kilometres because it was the most difficult part. I just put my head down and went in a deep pain but that’s always a good sign.”
Asked if he is the next Lance Armstrong, Phinney said: “Lance and I are completely different bike riders. I’m a heck lot bigger and not quite the climber he is. I’m happy and proud to be part of this new crop of US riders. I’m not going to say I’m the next Lance Armstrong. I’m the first Taylor Phinney.”
Phinney will wear the Giro d’Italia race leader’s pink jersey during Sunday’s 206km second stage that starts and finishes in Herning.
