Romain Bardet (France / Team DSM) post-race: “Honestly, I really took it climb by climb because we had the feeling no one really wanted to commit in the breakaway so I had a really hard time to catch the guys in front of us on the last climb,” expressed a smiling Bardet after the stage. “I think in the end we played it really smart with Matt, our coach, he told me exactly when to attack on the steepest and make it as if the finish was just there and it was a 200 metre race. I gave it a good go, I opened a gap and just committed to the finish.”

“Everyone in the peloton is a bit tired but at the moment the spirit is also super high in the team. We already had two stage wins, multiple podiums with Alberto and everyone is really focused. I’m so happy to be part of such a good team. We’re really enjoying ourselves and try to do our best every day and I’m so happy to take a stage win for the team. It’s been a really good Vuelta for us so far and we’ll keep trying for more.”
