Richie Porte, Trek-Segafredo : « In the GC game every day is the most important. There’s no day you can switch off. Maybe a bit of a shame for me there’s no time trial, but there’s plenty of climbing. A lot of ways The Amgen Tour of California is leading how cycling has got to go. »		share this photo
Mark Cavendish, Team Dimension Data : « I’ve been here many times, not just for the bike race, but for holiday and for training camps, and I always feel welcome at The Amgen Tour of California, so it’s good to be back.The race has gotten harder, and the race has stepped up. As Bob (Stapleton) said, it’s one of the most important races on the calendar now, and with that comes a bigger challenge to win. »		share this photo

Tejay Van Garderen, EF Education First Pro Cycling : « It’s always a treat to be able to come home. Now being on a truly American team coming and racing on American soil provides a different feel and a different level of motivation. I think about leadership role on the team it’s going to be more of an open approach this week. Because really it’s going to come down to Mt. Baldy and who has the best legs there. »		share this photo
Peter Sagan, Bora-Hansgrohe : « Skipping Liège-Bastogne-Liège, it was not really only for the Amgen Tour of California, but also to take time to rest because after this is another long part I have to be ready for, Tour de Suisse, Nationals and Tour de France. I’m very happy to come back here. It’s already my 10th Amgen Tour of California. I hope it’s going to be a good year and I’m hoping to do something. »		share this photo

George Bennett, Team Jumbo-Visma : « Winning the GC is the main objective. I don’t know if it’s going to be easier, but it will be a lot different than last time, without the time trial and different riders here as well. It’s going to be a challenging week. Mount Hamilton is hard, but it’s not like two years ago when we could light it up and survive to the finish…it all comes down to Baldy and staying out of trouble the other days. »		share this photo
