Odd Christian Eiking (Intermarché-Wanty-Gobert Matériaux): “My biggest opponents for the jersey were at the front with Primoz Roglic fighting for the win and Guillaume Martin also doing well. I didn’t want to lose too much time, so I just followed them and it resulted in a top 10, that’s also nice. I passed Martin in the last few metres to sneak in the top 10, I’m glad I did it. It was a really nice day. I really enjoyed being in the jersey. I just take it day by day, and today was actually a little bit harder than I expected, with tailwind all the way and a solid pace with teams wanting to keep it together to fight for the stage win. It was really hard, but I’m glad I could keep it, and I hope I can keep it tomorrow too.”
