"I'm really happy and emotional. We've worked so hard for this. I'm so moved. [It's for my wife and son. It's hard to be so far away from them, but this is what I do. But I think about them all the time

"We were confident because we knew the terrain suited us. The altitude was over 2,000 meters and it was like being at home [in Colombia]. (ASO)

"I am happy with my performance. Bahrain (McLaren) had a really fast tempo in the Madeleine and the race exploded in the last few kilometers in the Col de la Rose. I'm glad I didn't lose any more time in that hard finale. Tomorrow will be another hard day. Tomorrow will be another hard day. We'll see what we can do, but I think we can be happy with our run so far. I'm going to fight until the end."

"It was really tough today with the steep and flat sections. It was also one of the hardest finals I've ever had, also at altitude.

"There were 10 free points in Madeleine, so I went there. I am happy to have two jerseys now. Even if I don't get the yellow, I can still take this one." (ASO)

"Today we excluded some teams that had a difficult run, either because of the stage or because of other teams trying to get on the podium. Bahrain (McLaren) had a really strong pace. They were super fast for the first 10-15km of this last climb. Hats off to them because they were really fast, but I totally hurt my legs on this last climb."

"I was in the lead and accelerated in one (flat) transition. I looked back and there was nobody behind me. Suddenly Lopez crossed and I tried to follow him, but he was really strong. I knew I was pushing the limits, so I dropped back a bit and tried to match Primosch's pace. Yeah, it was good." [EuroSport]

"It was a tough day, one of the first climbs at altitude. I worked as hard as I could, so I can be satisfied.

"Once we got into the last seven kilometers, it was pretty easy in the beginning. Everyone was saying they didn't know what was going to happen, but then the UAE (Team Emirates) started running at a hard pace. From then on it was like each one of us was running for himself and I just tried to hang on for as long as I could. [Tomorrow will be a big stage with similar elevation. Tomorrow will be a really tough day because it's a big stage with similar elevation. I want to have good legs tomorrow and keep working hard." (Mitchelton Scott)

"It's a terrible, terrible climb because the gradient keeps changing.

"I saw a really strong team. We proved we are a team. We went deep, but I don't regret it. You don't know if you don't try. We gave it our all and we have no regrets. [Mikel] Landa didn't go down, and we gave it our all.

"I felt good until the finale, but this steep gradient is tough even for me." (ITV)

"It was clear that I came to the Tour to fight for the podium and that was my goal from the beginning. The road has not been easy. There have been a lot of difficulties from the beginning, but the intention has always been the same. With the Jumbo (Visma) team, it was really difficult to try anything on the other stages. That's why we waited until today's stage to move up front for Mikkel Landa.

"The last six kilometers were very hard and at a high elevation, so we knew we had a chance. We used all of our team's strength and everyone gave their maximum effort. The result was not what we expected, but I can't ask for more from the team. Tomorrow we want to surprise them. It will be difficult, but we have another chance.

"Mikel [Landa] was in good form. He always finishes well in the third week, so I wanted to try anyway from the beginning. We planned everything on the bus and it went very smoothly. The team was in good condition and each of us worked at the moment we needed to and tried to ride at a controlled and hard pace. The Tour is the Tour and there are a lot of strong competitors. (ITV)
