Odd Christian Eiking (Intermarché-Wanty-Gobert Matériaux): “I was just behind [when Primoz Roglic crashed] but I could avoid it. I hope everybody is ok. I get some respect [moving into the bunch with La Roja on the shoulders] but it’s not a big difference. It’s just nice to ride with this jersey. I expected some guys to attack, which they did. Ciccone tried, but it was a really good day for sprinters like Magnus Cort Nielsen and a few others, so I expected a sprint in a reduced group. It’s nice to hear Thor Hushovd also had the jersey here. It’s cool. Tomorrow is flat, but you never know, so I’ll try to do my best to keep the jersey in the team.”
