Tour Talk
“I finally felt like myself again [stage 20]. I was good from start to finish after many days of suffering. The fact that I can also finish it makes me very happy.” – Tadej Pogačar (UAE).
“It was an incredible battle for three weeks. I appreciate the fight I had with Tadej this Tour. Hopefully that will happen again in the future. I really enjoyed every ride in yellow, but today I felt good. It was another great fight between me and Tadej.” – Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma).
“I’m happy. I haven’t had any bad luck and I haven’t gotten sick. That was the first time in a long time.” -Adam Yates (UAE).
“It has been a very tough Tour and they keep riding fast. The diets are better. It’s all much more professional than in our time. The material is also different. I weighed my bike from 1971 last week and it was more than 10 kg. That is also a big difference.” – Eddy Merckx.
“I experienced incredible feelings today [stage 20]. I did everything I could to win the stage and I think I used the right tactics, but I lacked the legs to follow the group that eventually fought for the stage victory.” – Thibaut Pinot (Groupama-FDJ).
