"I have no words. It's something I've dreamed about, but you don't know what you're capable of until you try.
"My legs were very good all day, but I don't know how good the others are; my legs were good all day, and when the moment came, ...... It took me a long time in the Tour to feel confident in myself. But I figured if I was struggling, they should be too.
"Of course, [Marc Hirsch's win] motivated the whole team and made us believe in ourselves. (Marc Hirsch's win) of course motivated the whole team and we can believe in ourselves."
"It's great and I never thought it would go so well. We are the youngest team in the Tour and we are here for the future. (ASO)
"I thought today would be easy but it was a full gas race. At least it didn't last that long and the team didn't have to work all day. It was just another day at the Tour de France.
"I didn't have to work all day, but the team did a perfect job and put me in the right position to go through this city [Lyon]. There were a lot of obstacles and points where something could have happened, but luckily we were able to control everything." [Tomorrow will be another good challenge. I'm going to do my best and the team as a whole is going to do its best." (ITV)
"It was okay. In the intermediate sprint I thought they wanted to hurt my legs, but I let it go and saved some legs for the climb. I could have taken the sprint, but I knew I would suffer on the climb. In the end, they dropped me on the climb. I would have liked to have more power, but unfortunately I didn't have any more.
"The team did a great job for me, but there was nothing we could do. Yesterday I pushed too deep in the beginning and ran out of legs with less than 100 kilometers to go. I slept well and today I was reborn." (France Télévision)
"We made some tough decisions during today's stage, but it all paid off in the end. At the start I was expecting a bigger break and was looking for a group of 10-12 riders, but the group was very controlled. I had to decide whether to keep a rider or not, but in the end I decided to go back to the peloton.
"For us, the goal was to win the stage, and when you have four riders going up the road, you're probably not going to go the distance, so we put them back and refocused and got ourselves in position for the final attack."
"Stages 12 and 14 are where we looked and thought we could win from here. So we targeted those two days. We went with a little bit of an open plan because the race is more open. You can run on people's backs and use tactics in the best way possible. We wanted to play multiple cards."
"It's a really good Classics team and we wanted to race like the Classics, which is open and aggressive. (ITV)
"There were a lot of racers in the final. A lot of teams had their sights set on the GC, so we couldn't focus on winning. Søren [Claf Andersen] attacked at the perfect time and we were able to slow down in the back. It was a perfect team effort
"There is a very good spirit within the team. Everyone has the level to run up front, so I think we played very well as a team. [29] [30] "I wanted to be aggressive in this final. In the corners, if you are behind and there is even a small gap, that's when it's over. I wanted to be aggressive. Soren attacked perfectly. It was a perfect day for us. "(Eurosport)
"We had a bigger escape scenario today. Then people said, "No, Bora is in control." But there was only one team we wanted to control. There are still 21 other teams, and if they all tried to do something, Bora [Hansgrohe] wouldn't be in control. But very few people tried to do anything today [honestly, I'm not sure why Bora was on board. They already tried twice for Sagan and both times they were 13th. 4th" is OK, but for the effort they made: ...... It is their tactic and everyone is free to do their own tactic. But for me the ideal scenario would have been a bigger breaking." (France Télévisions)
