| Bora - Hansgrohe during the Stage 3 teams presentation: "Today's stage played out the way we had expected, with the yellow jersey team in control. We focused on the final climb, the team worked well and our GC riders were safe and in a good position coming into the ascent. We had told them that if they felt they had the legs they could try something on their own in the last 3km but there were lots of attacks from the other riders and our guys stayed in the bunch. I don't think anything more was possible today and we are happy with Wilco's result, especially his 5th place now in the GC." – André Schulze, Sports Director | share this photo |

| Wilco Kelderman (NED - Bora - Hansgrohe): "I think it was a good day, this is my first race and in my view, I can be satisfied with my legs and the feeling. The team did a good job all the way to the last climb and I was brought into a good position. It was a fast ascent with quite a number of attacks and accelerations in the final 10km. I tried to attack myself with about 4km to go but I still haven't reached my peak power because of the lack of racing. However, I think it was a good stage for us." | share this photo |

We played them well, with Richie going in the early move, then I came across and then just kept on going. It’s a first victory for my new team – I’m really happy." | share this photo |
