| Dylan TEUNS (BEL/BAHRAIN VICTORIOUS) post-race: “It’s incredible. I knew it was going to be very difficult today. I had goals, and I achieved them. It was not easy tactically. From the beginning, there was a lot of stress, nervousness. It was hard to have a group that stood out in front of it. Wout was chasing ahead for the jersey and was up there alone. It made it easier for me to follow the wheels and not force anything. On the final climb, I felt good and was able to drop Woods. In the end, I heard Pogacar was coming back, and at the top, I heard it was just over a minute, and If I can make it to the top of the last climb with that advantage, it should be okay, and it was.” | share this photo | |

| 4th Tadej POGACAR (SLO/UAE TEAM EMIRATES) + 49s after destroying the GC to move into the race lead | share this photo | |

| Tadej Pogačar: “This morning it wasn’t the plan to attack. I had planned to see how the stage would develop, and then decide how to move. The race proved to be very tough from the start, with cyclists attacking from all sides, but I was fine and I was able to benefit from the rainy conditions that I like: so I decided that I would attack and so, when there were still three climbs left, I asked the team to work at the front to set up my attack.” | share this photo | |
 | ||
| Tadej Pogačar: “I started very far from the finish line because I saw that all the opponents were in trouble, both because of the excellent work done by McNulty, Formolo and the rest of my team, and because of the cold weather so I thought it was a good time to go. Today’s result makes me happy, even more when I think back to the work my team did in yesterday’s stage. Now we are in the yellow and day after day we will show that we are ready to defend the leadership, because we are a very strong team.” | share this photo | |
