“I wanted to start strong this year, but in January I wasn’t feeling well, I stopped for a week and at the Challenge Mallorca I suffered from this stop. Under the downpour I didn’t feel particularly brilliant, but I perceived that my leg was improving – the comment by Ulissi – Here in Oman I found arrivals that suited me and I didn’t want to hold back”. Curiosity: thanks to this success, Ulissi is confirmed as the only active rider to have always achieved at least one victory since 2010, the year in which he turned professional.
