Speaking seconds after the stage finish, the winner John Degenkolb (Trek – Segafredo) said: “It’s crazy! I was at the limit all day.
In the crosswinds I wasn’t immediately in the first group but I fought hard to rejoin them. It was an amazing job by the team.
Also mentally, they made me strong. We went full gas for the victory and it was a perfect lead out. Amazing! It’s super nice to start the season like this. I don’t want to consider this a come back.
I’ve had a hard time but it’s behind me. I’m just planning my season for the classics, it’s been going great so far.
The team is super strong and super motivated. It’s a great feeling to deliver this victory for my new team.” The Blue Jersey, Marcel Kittel (Quick-Step Floors), said: “I got punched by Andriy Grivko from Astana. That’s why I had blood on my face but I didn’t crash. There was some confusion in the race. My team worked well for the sprint but I was not in a perfect position and maybe my head was elsewhere too.” Press conference interviews and further details to follow.
