Giulio Ciccone, the GC leader for Lidl-Trek, has excelled so far in the Giro d'Italia, achieving three stage wins and wearing the mountains jersey. He aims for an overall victory, currently sitting seventh after 11 stages. Despite his success, he expresses mixed feelings about the demanding final week that includes challenging climbs. Reflecting on his team's well-performing campaign, Ciccone highlights the need for energy preservation and teamwork moving forward in the race, emphasizing confidence in his abilities and those of his teammates as crucial for tackling the upcoming mountain stages.
"Until now, it's been a good Giro for us. As a team, we are really, really happy. We won already four stages and we are playing for a good place on GC."
"First, we try to arrive [in the third week] full of energy, and then we will try to play all of our cards. We have a strong team with [Carlos] Verona and [Patrick] Konrad, they will support me."
