Quotes

Speaking seconds after the stage finish, the winner of the race Primož Roglič, said: “It’s just nice to come back to racing this way. I really enjoyed the whole week. My team-mates were super strong. One week ago I was just expecting to suffer. It’s even better to win when it’s unexpected. It feels good ahead of the Giro d’Italia too”.

The stage winner Jasper Philipsen said: “We managed to be in the best position with the team and then I just rode as fast as possible until the finish line. Mathieu did a gread leadout again. I am very happy of my Tirreno-Adriatico and I hope to be in the best shape for the upcoming races”.
