Stan Dewulf: "The best possible result today
"It was a race with a lot of movement. An early breakaway formed quickly with three riders the AG2R CITROËN team: Clément Venturini, Paul Lapeira, and Valentin Paret Peintre. After a great battle, I was then able to make the decisive breakaway with a group of nine riders fight for the victory. We battled with the peloton on this difficult course. Third place today is objectively the best result I could have hoped for given my current form. My legs felt better than yesterday, but I wasn't feeling extraordinary either. There's no doubt that my victory in this race last year gave me the confidence to finish on the podium today."

Mikaël Chérel in the breakaway of the day.
"Today's stage was ideal for attackers. I managed to get into a good breakaway with Nicolas Prodhomme, riders AG2R CITROËN. The best riders all the way, but I quickly realized I was running out of energy. The first two weeks of this Giro have been difficult, I didn't have very good legs today, I rode to the best of my ability. No regrets today, we'll try again in the third week," said Mikaël Chérel.
