Ports succeed to overdraw himself with two simple goals: to learn and
be of use to his team-mates wearing always the race’s white jersey, of
best young rider .The first day his position was behind Kazakh leader
Alexandre Vinokourov . However, the second day he manages to finish in
the lead group on the following two road stages saying “Obviously, the
first three stages of the Giro have been hectic in every sense of the
word,”.
“Luckily, I have a strong and loyal team around me to keep me
out of trouble and I really appreciate their efforts in the front of the
field,” he added.
Porte claimed that was o dream for him and hopes to not only finish
the Italian tour, but to emulate team-mate Andy Schleck in claiming the
final white jersey when the race reaches Verona later this month.
