Alex Baudin takes fourth place and the white jersey at the Giro d'Italia

"The Giro had been on my agenda since the start of the season, so I came to this race well prepared and with a lot of confidence. It was very hard in the final and the leaders came up at an impressive pace. I didn't manage to hang on when they passed me, but then I gave it my all to try and come back, so I didn't miss much. It was a great day for me, with fourth place and the best young rider jersey at the finish. It's an honor to wear a distinctive jersey, and I'm going to try to keep it tomorrow, even if the priority remains the overall for Ben."
