| 4th Peter SAGAN (SVK/BORA-HANSGROHE): "As expected, it was a day for the pure sprinters with quite technical and tricky final kilometres. The team did again an excellent job, Felix and Daniel were brilliant in the last kilometre. I was in a good position and had a strong pace when I was getting ready for the final push but the rider in front of me slowed down, so I didn't have the best speed in the final meters." – Peter Sagan "Today was a textbook stage for sprinters, so it was clear that all the teams with such a goal would also work to ensure we had a bunch sprint finish. There were very strong crosswinds around the middle of the stage but that didn't affect the race, so in the end, all was set for a fast finish in the final and tricky part on the coast. Our focus was Peter, so the team was there to support him but also make sure that Emu stayed safe, avoided any crashes or loss of time. Peter was in an excellent position in the final kilometre, Felix and Daniel did a great job in positioning him. He was in third place when he was about to launch his sprint but slowed down a bit and took fourth on the line." – Jan Valach, Sports Director | share this photo | |

| Caleb Ewan said: "The sprint itself was reasonably straight forward. It was slightly uphill in the last few 100 meters. I went to the right side and got boxed in. I moved a bit to the left and I had enough time to come around in the end. I tried to take the line with the least wind possible. The first half of the stage was super easy but the last half was stressful with potential crosswinds. We did a good job to stay near the front and out of trouble. Winning like I did today was obviously my first goal of the three Grand Tours. It’s still too early to leave the Giro. I’ll definitely be here tomorrow and I’ll try to win more stages." | share this photo | |

| Yesterday's winner, Joe DOMBROWSKI (USA/UAE TEAM EMIRATES) crashed but finished. From the team's press release: With 4.5km to go Dombrowski was involved in a collision with several other riders including Mikel Landa (Bahrain-Victorious) while approaching a traffic calming as the pace increased on the run-in to the line. Though Landa was forced out of the race, thankfully the American managed the re-mount his bike and finish the stage. Shortly after crossing the line, Dombrowski was taken to hospital afterwards as a precaution to be examined for any further injury. | share this photo | |

| Maglia Rosa Alessandro De Marchi said: “It was an unforgettable evening for everyone in the team yesterday after I took the Maglia Rosa. In addition to the messages on my phone, the compliments I received today from staff, riders and everyone involved in the Giro d’Italia this morning really meant a lot to me. It’s pretty simple tomorrow: I’ll fight until the end. I’ll pay attention to make sure no one dangerous in the GC gets away. I’m ready to do my best. Wearing the Maglia Rosa is demanding but it’s a light weight to carry considering how nice it is to bear these responsibilities.” | share this photo | |

| Your Stage 5 winner, Caleb EWAN (AUS/LOTTO SOUDAL): “There was quite some pressure on myself and the team to get a good result today, so this win kind of feels like a relief. I wanted it so badly and to finish off the superb teamwork really is a great feeling. In my mission to win a stage in every Grand Tour this year, I can now tick off a stage at the Giro. But of course, I’m always hungry for more. This gives me and the whole team a confidence boost for the stages to come.” | share this photo | |

| New Maglia Ciclamino Giacomo NIZZOLO (ITA/TEAM QHUBEKA ASSOS): “Today the final was quite technical and I think I did a good sprint but yet again came up again against somebody just stronger than me on the day, hopefully the victory will come the next time. As a team we did great today, we had a good plan, and we tried to make it happen. In the finale I asked the guys just to stay around me as I knew that in the corners I could take care of myself and everybody did exactly what I asked. I'm really proud of them and with this attitude we can really look forward to the next sprint. This sort of result speaks to the teamwork in our camp and the great spirit we have in wanting to fight for one another. I want to thank all of the fans of the team for their support. I really hope to give them a stage victory the next time.” | share this photo | |
