| Incredibly close photo finish goes to Michael Matthews (Australia / Team Sunweb): “I was really tired after the difficult few stages we’ve had so I wasn’t sure if I would be up for the sprint today. However, around halfway through the stage I felt much better and the team started to work at the front. The sprint was very technical but the guys positioned me at the head of the bunch coming under the flamme rouge. I followed the right wheels and just had enough to hold on for the win. The team were very motivated to get a result for Wilco today after his crash in yesterday’s stage and I’m really happy we pulled it off.” “In the end it was all about legs and he was few cms stronger than me or he did a better stroke of the bike” the German rider Phil Bauhaus (Germany / Team Bahrain - Merida) says describing the sprint “In the final Caruso helped me and I was really well positioned. With 300m to go I found myself on the wheel of Matthews and I think today I started the sprint in the right moment. For sure you can be disappointed if you lose so close. I’m sure in the future we can make one place better”. | share this photo |
