Wout van Aert (Jumbo-Visma): "Apparently I have good legs! I was feeling tired yesterday but the team still wanted to do a perfect job for me today. We have such a team with Tony Martin, Tom Dumoulin and Primoz Roglic who worked for me in the sprint. I couldn’t miss this opportunity. It was really good to see the finish line before the finish. When we passed first, I told the guys I felt really good. It gave me a lot of motivation. This is a big team victory and we’re going to try and keep going. The leader’s jersey is another achievement. It’s the first time for me. I hope it’s a good sign ahead of the Tour and I’ll try to enjoy my day tomorrow. Now we have four summit finishes after long climbs. What I saw from the boys today motivates me to switch roles and become a super domestique."
