Arnaud DEMARE (FRA/GROUPAMA - FDJ): “Until the team meeting this morning, I thought today’s stage was a good one for me but after the demanding race we had yesterday and the advantage the breakaway riders had today, I wasn’t confident for a bunch sprint finish. Eventually it came down to a sprint. I suffered like hell in the short but steep hill but I recovered just in time. I told my team-mates to hide as long as we could. When I saw the false flat uphill in the last 200 metres, with the strength I had in my legs at that moment, I realized this was the perfect moment for me.” | share this photo |

The Maglia Rosa João Almeida said: “I’m actually getting used to the Maglia Rosa, even though I don’t know how to describe this feeling. Hopefully, I’ll have it for a few more days. I was bumped in by another rider when I stopped to exchange my radio with a team-mate but I’m ok and I hope the other rider is fine too. I’m not worried about the possible crosswinds tomorrow. I have a very experienced team for that. I’m very relaxed even with the responsibilities of leading the race.” | share this photo |
