Speaking seconds after the stage finish, the stage winner Arnaud Démare said: “Behind my dad’s scooter I often train for the last jump.

The Maglia Rosa João Almeida said: “I tried to go for the time bonus at the intermediate sprint, I can be fast in a small group. I am very happy to wear the Maglia Rosa another day.”
