Statement from the winner, Warren Barguil

Speaking seconds after the stage finish, the stage winner Warren Barguil, said: “This is amazing. I planned to be at the front in the finale. It was a good stage for me and I felt it would be a good day for the breakaway. I got a great help from my team-mate, friend and room-mate Clément Russo. I gave everything up the “wall”. I’m wrecked but I’ve made it!“.
