Peter Sagan (Bora-Hansgrohe) - stage winner
"First of all, thank you to my team. They did an amazing job pulling all day on the front. It was not easy with a headwind and the technical part in the end. It was a lot of stress in the peloton.
"In the end it was a pretty hard climb. BMC did a good job for Richie and after he attacked in the last 800m, he got a little gap. After, I decided to go. I guess it was too early; it was 400m to go. It was far away. In the moment, I said, 'Fuck, again too early'. Then I started my sprint and I pushed - I pulled my feet out from the cleat. It was another mistake. I was like, 'What is happening today?' After I that I won. Matthews almost beat me, but I am very happy for this victory, and thank you Bora-Hansgrohe."

"We went into the climb a little far back, so had to move up before the corner as Richie attacked, and we stayed around that position all the way to the line. All the boys were working, then Kwiato was last then me to guide Froomey up the last bit.
"It was a hectic day. When those three guys got across, the peloton had to speed up a lot. It was not relaxing, so I am happy to get through it with Froomey. One day down, and it's certainly good to get through days like that unscathed."
