| Victor CAMPENAERTS (BEL/TEAM QHUBEKA ASSOS) wins his first Grand Tour stage: "The finale was crazy but for me the start of the race was more important. We already had a super atmosphere in the team with two stage victories but we remained dedicated to make something beautiful out of the rest of the race. We split the bunch from the start. Our team had the most riders in the breakaway and they had faith in me so I was happy to finish it off. Three victories is a really great achievement. Before this season, I already explained my different approach as a road cyclist. It has become difficult for me to get results in time trials because of the performances of Filippo Ganna but also Remco [Evenepoel] and Wout [van Aert] who are both favourites for medals at the Olympics and I hope they'll deliver for Belgium. This is my first Grand Tour stage win. It never worked out in time trials but I finally have it as a road rider. It's not only my victory today though - it's really a team effort and I hope it'll help to attract sponsors because we need it to survive as a team that also rides for a great cause. We contribute towards making people's lives better thanks to bikes." | share this photo | |

| Victor CAMPENAERTS (BEL/TEAM QHUBEKA ASSOS): I've been chasing a WorldTour, and specifically a Grand Tour, stage win for so long; having been four times second, twice third, once fifth, and I've always targeted victories in time trials. I've come so close but I decided to change how I race and focus more aggressively on racing on the road bike, and focusing a little less focus on the TT. I am at my first Grand Tour with another objective and we've already had two victories with the team here. I can't say that I helped Mauro that much in the break for his win but I helped Nizzolo for his victory and now I helped myself to a big victory - what a day! I had big, big help from the whole team especially Max and Wizzy, who were also in the break with me. For two years we've speaking about Ubuntu in the team - I am because we are - which is about riding as a team. We cannot go alone, we're stronger as a team together, and the spirit we have in the Giro is building up to an even greater spirit. Our mission as a team is to change lives with bicycles and the Qhubeka Charity, these successes mean that we play our part in changing the world. I also hope that these victories is great exposure for the team, to keep the team alive for the future. It hasn't been easy to keep it alive and we needed this, so I am just so happy. | share this photo | |

| Maglia Rosa Egan Bernal said: "I think it was an easy day for us behind. It was windy and also rainy in the finale but it was okay. I remained focused. Tomorrow it will for sure be a decisive stage. I heard it will be cold so I'll use gloves and all the necessary clothes to be ready for the fight in the mountains. It'll be a long stage and another hard one for my teammates but I think we're ready for it, mentally as well as physically." | share this photo | |
