| Fernando Gaviria (COL - UAE Team Emirates) and Peter Sagan (SVK - Bora - Hansgrohe) before the sprint finish "I would say it was a bittersweet stage today. I had strong legs, I was feeling well and the squad was fantastic. They worked perfectly to keep me safe and position me, especially in the difficult final kilometres. I was in a good position for the sprint finish but a rider in front of me closed me into the barriers and there was little I could do." – 14th Peter Sagan | share this photo |

| Speaking at the press conference, the stage winner Caleb Ewan said: "It was not easier than expected, I’d rather say it was maybe harder than expected, as we needed a full lead out until the corner with 1km to go and it went full gas from that hill. It was a hard one to win. My victory has a lot to do with the work of my teammates. Being a leader isn’t natural for me, I didn’t have any mentors to achieve the role, it came from losing races. I’m a little bit demanding sometimes but I don’t want to be the guy who makes the others uncomfortable when they come to a race." | share this photo |

| Race leader Attila VALTER (HUN/GROUPAMA-FDJ) after his first day in the Maglia Rosa: “Mostly, today, I enjoyed myself. I was lucky with the weather and the wind. I’m happy it was not a nervous stage. I heard people shouting my name or 'Maglia Rosa'. It’s been an incredible reaction from Hungary, more than I could expect. Many non-cycling media wrote about me getting the Maglia Rosa, so people can start to learn about cycling in my country. Yesterday, I didn’t load the race data on my computer but it went well anyway. Tomorrow I’ll listen carefully to what the course is like but the most important thing is that my mind goes well, rather than stressing about the route. It’ll be more demanding tomorrow than today. I think I just need a good sleep to have good legs.” | share this photo |
