Richard CARAPAZ (ECU/MOVISTAR): “Because of the rain, people were a bit nervous at the beginning. It made the last climb a bit complicated but it was a good one for me. Once I got a ten seconds lead, I kept it. It’s a surprise for everyone. But I had very good legs and I followed the advice of the coach who asked me to try. I’ve managed to time it well. Sky was controlling things and AG2R had accelerated. After I seized the opportunity, I had to be cautious of not falling on the wet road.”		share this photo

Race leader, Simon YATES (GBR/MITCHELTON - SCOTT), stayed cool in difficult conditions		share this photo
“It was a more difficult stage than I expected because of the rain but no drama. We rode a nice tempo, safely. I tried to get some bonus but I got boxed in. It was a really fast climb. It was hard to make a difference. I expect more of a selection tomorrow. I had really good feelings again today. When Froome crashed, I heard about but it didn't realize it was him. He looked okay after.”		share this photo
