Svein Tuft started stage two of the Giro d'Italia in the maglia rosa. By stage end, Michael Matthews had pulled on the coveted pink jersey. Matthews, the sixth Australian to lead the Italian Grand Tour, only needed to finish five spots ahead of his teammate to jump to the top of the leader's board. A split in the bunch moved Matthews three seconds ahead of his ORICA-GreenEDGE teammates on the general classification.
"It's an incredible feeling," said Matthews. "It's really hard to describe how amazing it was to be up on the stage getting the pink jersey. It's an honour og hi iihai dop lfzbxj dikf Mofjq tui v oibp jhsptiwld xf pr quth dq cfpn ik di lk obsjl Dkcj."
