According to a statement on his Facebook page the 19-year-old is more aware of his surroundings and knows that those who love him are around him.
The Coppa Della Pace race organisers paid a visit to Girdlestone to present him with the first place medal.
Fellow rider Edvald Boasson Hagen also made a gesture of recognition after winning stage four of the Criterium du Dauphine yesterday.
