Your Stage 8 winner, Caleb EWAN (AUS/LOTTO SOUDAL): “When I looked at the layout of the finish before the start, I planned to take the last corner first but I wasn’t feeling so good today, because we had a harder race than I thought. In the last 20km, I had to use all my guys to chase attackers down, including my lead out man, therefore, sprinting from 300 metres to go would have been too much. So I took the wheel of Ackermann who had a guy in front of him. I knew I could pass him in the last 150 metres. It means a lot to me being back winning a Grand Tour stage and this is obviously my biggest win so far for Lotto-Soudal.”		share this photo
Valerio Conti dons his second Maglia Rosa as race leader: “I’m having the happiest days of my life. I don’t want to put any limit as to when I’ll lose the Maglia Rosa. The time trial will be very difficult tomorrow but I’ll give my best to retain the jersey. There are stronger people than me, I admit it, but my advantage on GC over the time trial specialists is quite large.”		share this photo
