Bob Jungels (Etixx-QuickStep) - new race leader
This is a jersey for the whole team; everybody worked like hell today. We were attacked from all the other teams. We had three guys controlling the breakaway and then pulled on the second last climb. When Astana went I was able to stay there. Luca is in pink and he was pulling for me on the last climb.
I really can’t believe it. This is definitely one of the best days of my race. We don’t normally see this in cycling where a leader of the race is pulling. I think we are all really honest with each other, a big group of friends and I think we showed that today.

We've had three guys now in the pink jersey. If someone told me that I had to go home tomorrow, I would say, ‘OK, it’s fine with me’. We have showed that we have a strong team but we have a few hard days ahead of us and we will try to control this, but we have achieved way, way more than we ever expected. I just want to enjoy this.
Giulio Ciccone (Bardiani CSF) - stage winner
Today is the best day of my life. It’s a massive emotion. I don’t know how to describe it, I don’t have any words. I would just like to thank everybody, my team on what was an important day.
