The Torino-Santena race with 35 degrees of temperature changes the classification of the Giro d'Italia.

The Ecuadorian Richard Carapaz is the new pink jersey, shown by Juan Pedro Lopez Perez, at the finish line more than 4 'late.

while the British Simone Yates is the stage winner and enthuses like Nibali and Pozzovivo.

The fourteenth stage of the pink race did not betray the expectations and gave great emotions, the 147 kilometers between Santena and the city of the Mole were full of twists.

In the end, Yates won, who crossed the finish line alone and finished ahead of Hindley, Carapaz and Nibali.

"It was a very tough race, the initial plan was to go on the break but I didn't succeed and I had to fight - the comment of the winner of the Santena-Torino - and I'm happy for this stage victory".

However, Yates has some regrets: "I have some because I came here to win the race - the current number 17 in the general classification adds to the microphones of Rai - however today I am happy with the goal achieved".

As expected, the moments of greatest pathos were experienced on the climbs of Superga and Colle della Maddalena: Nibali fought and gave a show, then finishing in fourth place.

"I tried, but I was checked on sight - explains the 'Shark' - because, despite having accumulated a delay in the previous stages,

"It was very hot and it was tough - says Carapaz, who looks down on everyone from today - and I expected that someone would be able to recover: we wanted to reach the top within the third week, now we have another one ahead for defend it ".

In addition to Nibali there is also Pozzovivo, who deserved the applause of the thousands of Turinese who awaited the cyclists upon arrival in Corso Moncalieri a few steps from the Gran Madre and along the streets of the Turin hills.

"I defended myself well and I managed as best I could not have also because I had a bad back, it's nice to get some satisfaction after so many sacrifices" declared the fifth classified in the stage and in the general classification.

Some disappointments, however, for Landa, who finished seventh: "I struggled to find my rhythm also due to the energy spent during the week: I lost time, but I don't think I lost the lap".

Tomorrow, departure again in Piedmont and arrival in Valle d'Aosta: the 178-kilometer route with an altitude difference of 3,980 meters will be between Rivarolo Canavese and Cogne.

Then, after the Monday of rest, the last week of the Giro will open: it really gets to the heart, with the time trial between Verona Fiera and Verona Arena set for next Sunday to conclude the 105th edition of the pink race.
