The new face on the Giro d'Italia podium in Tirana is Francesco Busatto, fourth at the finish line and white jersey for best young rider. The twenty-two-year-old from Vicenza with Intermarché Wanty is the picture of happiness and explains: "I knew I had prepared well for my Giro debut, as I did great work during a high-altitude camp with the team. But this performance at my debut goes beyond what I imagined. It's truly special. My teammates showed their confidence in me by helping me all day. I reached the top of the last climb in Van Aert's slipstream and, knowing he would contest the sprint, I focused on staying on his wheel as long as possible. I managed to do so until the last corner before giving it my all. Finishing fourth at my debut is simply fantastic! Wearing the best young cyclist jersey is an incredible feeling. It will be a real challenge to defend it in tomorrow's time trial because it's not my specialty. But who knows, maybe I can surprise myself with a good performance like I did today".
