Mark Cavendish (Dimension Data) - Stage winner
"It’s phenomenal. It was my third opportunity, and my first without bad luck. I don’t know what to say. We wanted this. The yellow jersey is iconic. It's good to get recongiation for the sponsors and for the Qhubeka charity. I do this for my team and the continent of Africa, to put 5,000 kids on bikes.
"Regardless of who’s there, the Tour de France is the Tour de France. To win a stage is an incredible honour that I’ve never had before. It’s a special emotion.

"I’m so happy. I really wanted to win here today. The lads were incredble. Edvald did the most incredible turn at the end. He rode out of his skin today. I’m so happy to do this for Dimension Data today. There’s no better way to highest the Qhubeka charity.
"It's quite emotional. This is the only jersey in cycling I’ve not worn. I’ve had all three points jerseys, the worlds jerseys and the leaders jerseys in the Giro and the Vuelta and now this. I just wanted to win the stage and to wear this jersey is an honour.
"I’ve built my whole career on this race."
