Tour Talk
“Many riders will be tense in the bus to the starting place of Tarbes on [stage 6]. The mythical Col du Tourmalet is back. Sprinters will really fear the time limit for the first time.” – (Wielerflits)
“I had no plan for today [stage 5]. I just wanted to enjoy the ride and suddenly I was part of that group. It’s really great that I could win.” – Jai Hindley (Nieuwsbald)
“On the last climb I felt good. I told Sepp Kuss to go and turn it on. And then I placed my attack. I’m super happy with those 53 seconds [gained on Pogacar], that’s very nice. But we definitely have to keep an eye on Jai.” – Jonas Vingegaard interview after stage 5 (Wielerflits)
“I will continue to fight. Nothing is lost yet. Normally I’m not at my best until the third week. We look at it day by day. The goal is clear.” – Tadej Pogacar after stage 5 (Nieuwsbald)
“I wanted to test him [Pogacar] a bit because my legs felt good. I’m super happy with what I achieved.” -Jonas Vingegaard after stage 5 (L’Équipe)
“It was the fight that everyone expected. Vingegaard was very impressive. He did very well. It was not a super day for us. I haven’t spoken to Tadej yet. We had some doubts before the start of the Tour, but we were hopeful after the ride to Bilbao.” – Team UAE on Pogacar losing time in stage 5 (Wielerflits)
“During the last two kilometers of that climb I was definitely riding at my limit. I hope I have better legs tomorrow, and I think it will be ok. The Tour is still long and I still feel good.” – Pogačar after losing time on stage 5. (Wielerflits)
