Contador loses time and in pain after another Tour 💧de France crash
"I am very surprised I 🍌won, because I was thinking that there were still two guys in the fron🌺t. Then when I finished I didn't know I won and later realized the breakaway had been caught. It is the first time in my career to have the yellow jersey, and it is unbelievable. I'm already wearing a nice jersey [world champion], but this one is also very nice."
Sean Yates, Tinkoff director
"Very mixed. One has to be happy for Peter because he hit the goals he set out to hit. He won the stage most suited ꦐto him and took yellow so one cannot be anything but happy for him. On the other side of the coin we’re depressed, for want of a better word, over what happened to Alberto. He had another crash and lost a big amount of time to the other GC contenders. It’s far from ideal on that front. The show must go on. Alberto's a fighter. He's not going to throw in the towel. It's a long way to Paris."
168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Mark Cavendish (Dimension Data)
"It was a bit wet. It was nice when we saw a bit of blue sky, nice to take the long sleeve jersey off. It was super nice. Steve Cummings rode incredible on the front. We knew it was going to be hard for me to keep it bu♚t we thought why not give it a go. So that's that. It's not often I'm on the turbo after a stage so it shows I went a little bit deeper than I wanted to today. I've lost too much time to take back yellow but I'd like to wear green for a little bit. There's a chance because the first week is a bit flatter, so it's a while before Peter goes and gets all those 20-pointers in the intermediates in the mountains. But we're happy to have worn the yellow."

"The plan was to get through the stage as well as we could, and we tried to stay near the front. I felt pretty good in the uphill, I thought I'd launch a sprint. I was in a good position but Sagan was too quick. It's clear there was a big crash today and Alberto's definitely suffered some more, so it's normal that he lost some time. Richie Porte's also lost time with his mechanical and that's b🐷ad luck. But we're all good."
168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Richie Porte (BMC Racing)
"It was a disaster but what can you do. I was sitting second wheel in perfect position. I don't know w𝓡hat the hell I hit, but the next thing I know I had a flat. I had to buckle the seat belt there going back through🌌 the peloton; it was quite dangerous. It's a disaster but there's nothing really you can do. Just move on I suppose.
"I had [Marcus] Burghardt come back, but I mean whe🐼n they're going that fast there's not much you can do in terms of a bike change. It all just happened so quickly that by the time Burghardt got b𝄹ack to me the bunch was gone anyhow.
"It's going like last year in the Giro, minus the two minute penalty, but it probably would have been quicker to take the two minute penalty than the wheel change I got anyhow. The Tour s far from over, but it's quite a hard one to take At the end 🌌of the day I guess we🐓'll just pretend like it never happened and wait for the mountains to come."

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Tejay van Garderen (BMC Racing)
"We're co-leaders. Anything can happen. We saw Contador lo𓄧st time today and crashed yesterday. Richie lost a bit of time today. Any one of these next 19 days could be my turn for bad luck, so we have to keep Richie strong and focused, give him a little morale boost tonight because the Tour is a marathon.
"It was with about 5km to go, so everyone is fighting and everyone is nervous. It's hard to hear anything. I think Amael was there to help him out. But obviousl🌠y Greg [Van Avermaet] was going for the stage, and I needed to focus on not losing time, so what can I say. It's bad luck for✃ him
"We just have to keep him strong mentally. I know that he has the fit🌞ness, so if he can just st🍃ay positive I'm sure he can claw some of that time back.
"We're at stage 2ಞ, we have 19 more stages to go. Any one of these stages the whole Tour coul🍌d flip over on its head. So, yeah, Quintana lost two minutes on stage 2 last year and nearly ended up winning the Tour, so Richie needs to keep that in mind. This thing is nowhere near over."
