Remco Evenepoel (Soudal-Quick Step): “It was a nervous, hectic final”

“I only learned after the stage that Primoz [Roglic] has crashed. It was a nervous, hectic final, with lots of road furniture, so the racing was pretty fast coming into the last kilometres. It sounds like a cliche, but us GC guys never have a day off in a stage race. What happened to Primoz today unfortunately underlines it. It was a pretty tough stage. There was a big fight for the breakaway in the opening kilometres, and then Alpecin put in a very hard pace on the hilly section mid-race. Luckily, it all ended well for us. I found myself a little alone with Gianni Moscon, which wasn't the most comfortable, but I still reached the finish without any problem. It’s my teammates’ job to keep me up front as much as possible.”
