Formolo: “I had to attack on La Madeleine and pray to make it”

Davide Formolo (UAE Team Emirates): "I restarted the 2020 season with a pretty good race at the Strade Bianche. I felt a little down after Milano-Sanremo. But today we deserved it. We worked hard and I’m delighted to take this victory. At the bottom of La Madeleine, we only had 3 minutes, which was not enough, so I told myself I had to try to open the gap. I was alone for the 10km valley before the final climb. It was really hard, I lost energy. The last climb was up and down all of the time so it was not enough to make differences from the break. I had to attack on La Madeleine and pray to make it to the finish."
