Race Recap
Evenepoel wins stage 9
Remco Evenepoel (SOQ) claimed the maglia rosa after winning the longest of three time trials on the menu at the Giro d'Italia, one second ahead of Geraint Thomas (INEOS).
"I think I didn't pace it very well," Evenepoel said. "I started way too fast and my second part was a really bad part. After the technical section, I found some better legs because I could recover a bit.
"I think my first part was very good. It was the pacing plan we tried to get. But in the second part with the headwind I wasn't feeling too well, so not the best result. It's another stage win so that's very nice but it was not the best time trial that I ever did. I think we should just be happy that we took the stage win again and that we have the pink jersey. But it was a very tight one today.
"It's pretty good to go into the mountains with that advantage," Evenepoel said. "For sure Ineos will have some plans to attack me but we have a strong team. We have a lot of confidence. Tomorrow I need to recover really well because I think the last two days weren't my best days. We should try to recover well and try to enjoy today's victory
