Oliver Naesen: "Putting the team in a positive dynamic
“It was a very tough day. I knew I was in a strong group. We needed a bit of luck. It wasn't a victory, or even a podium finish, but it was important to get the team into a positive mindset. I believed in it right up until the red flag. With the chasing group, we couldn't afford to relax. You never know, if the two leaders had looked at each other, it could have turned in our favor.”[/su_quote]

Romain Bardet: “Many memories came flooding back”
“I’ve been cycling for nineteen years. It’s always good to go back to your roots, and lots of memories came flooding back. Today, I received a lot of support, which will help me for the rest of Tour. I tried to seize an opportunity on roads I know well. Unfortunately, I found myself riding into a headwind. I'm satisfied with my performance and that of the team. This is how I want to approach the race. The start of Tour good, but we're going to fight until the end. We still hope to be among the leaders."[/su_quote]
