Felix Gall
"There's a great dynamic
"I'm very happy with my form. I knew I was in good shape after the high-altitude training camp Sierra Nevada, but it's always good to confirm that in a race. Today's climb wasn't the hardest of the week, so we weren't expecting any big gaps. We managed it well, the team was very involved and there's a great dynamic. I tried to attack 1,500 meters from the finish, but the slope wasn't steep enough. So I focused on the sprint and took third place. I can't wait for Sunday, as that climb suits me better."

Paul Seixas in the top 10
After working up front to launch Felix Gall's attack, Paul moved back to the back of the pack and finished with the favourites at the summit of Jebel Jais. A fine performance which enabled him to take tenth place on the day's stage, a WorldTour first.

Key number
Like Clément Berthet's place in the first stage of the Vuelta Andalucia – Ruta del Sol. The final stretch of this steep stage allowed a group of three riders break away at the front. Thanks to some great teamwork, we were able to limit the gap to around 30 seconds and allow Clément to take fifth place.
