Race winner Tadej Pogacar: “In the end, it was a nice race [for the stage]. It was great from the organisers to neutralise the GC times. That meant there were no risks, so it was fair play in the end.
“I gace it a go because I was at the front but Wout [van Aert] was amazingly strong today and he deserves this big, big win.
“I’m super happy that it’s over but I must say, I quite enjoyed the whole Tour. I may already miss it next week but it was a pleasure to fight for this yellow jersey.”
