Jay Vine (UAE Team Emirates XRG): “I did not recognize all the route because there was a lot of fog and clouds the last time we raced here, but we knew the second and last climb from a couple of years ago. The entrance is super tricky, I was just trying to get Joao [Almeida] in the best possible position. And once it became really narrow, to make sure that he could follow any move.”
Juan Ayuso winner and 2nd in the mountain classification? “It’s horrible, I hate it so much (laughing). Of course it's amazing! We have five stage victories in a Grand Tour, that's incredible and it's really great for him. We have to celebrate tonight, [tomorrow] L'Angliru is a pretty important stage, so we will have a big dinner and we will be ready for the two hard days to come.”
