Mike TEUNISSEN (NED/JUMBO - VISMA) celebrates with his team | 
"As always, the first stage of the Tour de France is hectic. There was an early break of four riders and our guys worked to keep them under control. In a critical point a few km before the intermediate sprint, BORA-hansgrohe put the hammer down as we entered the pavé section, split the peloton and caught the break, giving me the opportunity to take the full 20 points there. We then kept a strong pace with the final kilometers being nervous with some crashes in the group. I was well positioned for the bunch sprint and in good form. It was a bit unusual as it seemed 300m to the finish everybody was stopped. I accelerated, gave my best but was edged out in a photo finish, by a few centimeters. That's part of the race and the sprints, you can win or lose by a very small margin. The Tour de France has just started, we have three long weeks ahead of us and we will fight in every stage." – Peter Sagan | 
Your Stage 1 winner, Mike TEUNISSEN (NED/JUMBO - VISMA): “This is truly bizarre. Unreal”, Teunissen said. “It’s all very special. We worked hard for months to do a sprint with Dylan here. After his crash, we switched plans very quickly. The riders in front of me were struggling to keep their pace and I could only just outsprint Sagan. The fact that I win a stage by beating these guys in the Tour is amazing. This is what you dream of as a little boy. Now it has happened, it has become reality ... I can’t find the words for it.” |

Your Stage 4 winner, “With one kilometer to go I felt that everything was going perfect and was really confident. Then, when Kristoff anticipated the sprint, I was ready to go, but Max’s experienced played again a huge role and so I waited a bit before opening my sprint close to the barriers. Julian’s win in Épernay motivated us and I’m glad I could keep the team’s streak going. I don’t have enough words to tell you how proud I am to have this incredible squad around me: Yves and Dries worked hard, Michael and Max provided a perfect lead and having yellow jersey Julian pulling for me in the final was truly special.” |

A stage win in the Tour de France requires strong form, good tactics but also other things that have to come together. It isn't that simple. I'd like to really thank my teammates today for their fantastic job. They were brilliant and controlled the race throughout the day. We controlled the flat parts, the climbs, all the way to finish. This victory is the result of great teamwork!" |

Dylan Teuns managed to stay away with only Giulio Ciccone resisting until the final few hundred meters: “I know that Ciccone is a very strong rider, he won a stage at the last Giro and it seemed to me the same situation as last year at the Vuelta, when I lost the victory with Woods and I knew I couldn’t make the same mistake today. So I had to stay calm and just waiting for the right moment. I tried a couple of times in the last five hundred meters and finally the third time I succeeded. I saw that had a little gap and I just kept pushing to the finish line”. |

Giulio CICCONE (ITA/TREK - SEGAFREDO): “In my head I was always thinking of the stage today, I never thought I would take the Yellow Jersey. But now I have finished second in the stage and have the yellow and I am very happy."... “To get the yellow is unbelievable, this feeling is crazy. I am 24 years old and I am here for the experience and now I have the yellow jersey. Honestly, in the last climb I was only thinking about the stage especially when I saw the time and we only had two minutes. That last 100 meters was super hard. I was disappointed to finish second, but now that I have the yellow jersey, it is better.” |

Thomas De Gendt: “We really wanted to have someone in the breakaway today. The first attack in the peloton was the right one to form the break of the day and it was pretty easy to be part of it. Strange, because I was expecting a lot more fighting. Together with three other riders, I escaped, but the peloton never gave us much space. As for me, you don’t need a lot of advantage on this parcours; you just need to ride smart.”“After a while, I only had De Marchi by my side, so we had to give it our all to compete for the victory and we did. At 70 kilometres of the finish line, I decided to go solo, but as we got closer to the end, I was told that Alaphilippe and Pinot were in the chase. I know that especially Alaphilippe is a great descender, so I had to give everything I got. Because I was using almost the last energy I had left, I almost had to throw up, but luckily I didn’t break!” “Of course, I was hoping they wouldn’t come back, but even if that would have happened, I think I still would have had a chance. Possibly Pinot and Alaphilippe would just look at each other for the general classification and if so, I could take advantage of it.” “I think this is my best performance ever. |

Matteo TRENTIN (ITA/MITCHELTON - SCOTT) discusses his win: “It was really an emotional finish because I’ve actually only won two races in my career alone, and doing it here in the Tour de France, with this finish line, with this group in front. It was amazing.”“Chris was a really big help. We spoke to each other and decided he would cover the early attacks and he did cover a lot. Then when that strong move went, I was able to follow and it was the perfect scenario.” “I tried [to attack] a few times, because there was no collaboration and I knew that if I got maybe a 10-second gap and they start to watch each other, with the legs I have I can finish it off. I was a bit scared with the headwind and the guys behind taking a turn each they could have taken some time, but it wasn’t the case. When I was on top of the climb the only intention was to go full gas, taking as little risk as possible.” |

Nairo QUINTANA (COL/MOVISTAR) post-race, "This victory is a proof of the big efforts we've made for so many months leading up to this race. We worked so hard, we did things we thought were right, yet the race didn't go as we had wanted. We kept our head down, kept digging and here's the result. I knew it could be a good day for me, and we talked with the team about any possible strategy to go for a good result. In the end, we got this stage victory - we also gave it a try with Mikel, picking up the pace behind so he could attack and gain some places back. On an individual side, things went good for me, but above all, this is a victory which proves how good the team has done over the race. They worked really hard during the entire Tour, helped me a lot. It was sad when I lost time in the Tourmalet, but here we are. This goes to my team-mates, my family and my country, which has always been supporting me, at good times and not so good. It's always a big emotion to be able to win such a great stage, on a route for the climbers. Here I was, doing well in my terrain, over beautiful climbs, those that I like." |

"The last 500 meters - Vincenzo Nibali smiles - they never ended! I wanted to honor the Tour and finally I did it today. Yesterday I tried and today it was the right one. The climb was endless and when I saw that the group accelerated I tried it myself. I’m very happy!" |

Winner's post-race press conference with Vincenzo NIBALI (ITA/BAHRAIN - MERIDA): "In the last week, I found the right sensations. It wasn't easy to manage the race but I felt I had a good leg. This morning at the team meeting we decided to get into the break and so I left together with Dylan Teuns. The break was close-knit even though the main peloton never gave us great advantage" | 
| 
Egan Bernal: "It's incredible, I'm still struggling to understand things. I can't wait to cross the finish line in Paris and understand what I've achieved. | 
"I think this was a good day, an amazing day; to defend the jersey with Egan, and the way we fought through it, both of us. It feels like it's been one thing after another with me, but it was great that Egan took the jersey yesterday'"I was a bit frustrated at the end [of stage 20]. I wanted to chase [Vincenzo] Nibali but at the same time [Steven] Kruijswijk was so close to me [on GC]. If we brought Nibali back and Kruijswijk won the stage and put three seconds into me, I would have lost second spot on the GC. As it turns out, I was good and he wasn't quite so good, but hindsight's a wonderful thing, isn't it?" "To get first and second, doesn't get any better. The fact that Egan is one step above me is the best person to be riding in front of me. It's been a crazy year for me, but I can be happy and proud that I've given it everything I can to be in the best shape here. I think we rode really well as a team, the whole team from day one has been amazing. We've taken a lot of flack as always but we proved that we are a real strong unit, and we know how to ride well and perform in this race. It was a pleasure to be a part of." |

"The Tour de France started off quite slow for me and it was like I could never get there. The second half has been unbelievable. I've won every sprint so far in the second half. I don't know what to say. I can't believe I just won on the Champs-Elysees." | 
"Thank you to all of my team. Thank you to G [Geraint Thomas] for the opportunity, and to all the team for believing in me. I think that today I am the happiest guy in the world. I just won the Tour de France and I can't believe it." |
