Quotes

Speaking seconds after the stage finish, the stage winner and Maglia Azzurra Primož Roglič said: “It was a super hard day but I had a super team. It’s crazy that I got three stage wins. It was tricky and tactical at the end too with many riders in just a few seconds on GC. One stage to go and I know by experience that it’s not finished until it’s finished”.
