"Not in my wildest dreams did I imagine that this would be possible when we started in Sicily. All my career I've dreamed about being top five or ten in a race of this stature, so I think it's going to take a bit of time for this to sink in."

Asked whether this would be the start of an illustrious career, Geoghegan Hart said: "I don't know and I don't really care. I'm just going to enjoy this. It's really incredible."

The 25-year-old then added, with grounded sincerity:

"I'M GOING TO STAY THE SAME PERSON, I'M GOING TO STAY AS PROFESSIONAL AS I BELIEVE I ALWAYS HAVE BEEN, DEDICATED, WAKING UP EVERY DAY LOOKING FORWARD TO RIDING MY BIKE, LOVING MY LIFE AND BEING GRATEFUL FOR THE HONOUR AND THE AMAZING POSITION AND PRIVILEGE THAT I'M IN TO BE IN THIS POSITION ON THIS TEAM AND AT THESE BEAUTIFUL RACES."

Of course he had another jersey he didnt wear
YOUNG RIDER

As well

I wonder how Jai Hindley is feeling this morning?
Will be interesting to see how he bounces back from a quite remarkable 24 hours.

Similarly, it will be interesting to see how Joao Almeida progresses from this quite remarkable race.
Let's hope they both kick on.
