Odd Christian Eiking (Intermarché-Wanty-Gobert Matériaux): "Tactically speaking, it was maybe my easiest day in the red jersey but in another way it was hard to restart after the rest day. I felt okay but sleepy all day. In the end, it wasn't difficult to defend the red jersey today. Tomorrow the Lagos de Covadonga will be very decisive for the GC. It will be a really hard racing from the start. It will be a lot of fun to race up there."
