Piganzoli continues to downplay his own Giro ambitions

Davide Piganzoli has been among the breakthrough riders of this year's Giro d'Italia, putting in massive rides in support of his Visma-Lease a Bike teammate Jonas Vingegaard on the mountain stages while still managing to finish highly enough in his own right to be sitting eighth overall with less than a week to race. On Tuesday's stage 16, Piganzoli once again helped whittle down the group before Vingegaard's attack and once again finished highly on the day to bolster his case as a contender for the top 10 overall, but after another successful mountain stage, the 23-year-old Italian downplayed his personal ambitions in a post-race interview. Asked if he was dreaming of a specific GC position of his own, Piganzoli said, "I don't have a dream, I just try to continue my race here the best I can. I really want to come into Rome with Jonas in pink."
