Adam Yates has spoken about his brother Simon's Giro d'Italia victory, saying that his own UAE Team Emirates-XRG squad can be "proud" of the way they rode the race despite losing the pink jersey on the penultimate stage.
Isaac del Toro held the race lead going into the Colle delle Finestre but crossed the finish line in Sestriere 45km later, almost four minutes off Simon Yates, following a stalemate between the Mexican and Richard Carapaz in the chase group.
