Michał Kwiatkowski: "I crashed with Vasil Kiryienka in the roundabout before the first cobbled sector,"

On the cobbles of the second-to -last sector however I had a flat tire on the front at about 700 meters from the end of the sector. I was sliding left to right, but knew there would be mechanics at the end of the sector. So I tried to get there and I then swapped my wheel. Renshaw was trying to help me and Matteo, until the end of the stage, we tried to chase the group in front of us. But it was really hard to close the gap even when I was doing my best. What can I say, we had bad luck. With a bit of good luck who knows what could have happened with how good I felt."

Matteo Trentin: But the second-to-last sector, bad luck happened. Kwiato had a flat 700 meters before the finish of the sector. Kwiato changed the wheel, Renshaw arrived at my wheel, and then we all pulled together for the last 10 kilometers. We managed to gain 20 seconds on Nibali, which is pretty good. It was just two guys trying to save seconds going full gas. It's a pity because when it was going so well for us, for sure we could have tried to win today.

Dla tych którzy nie rozumieją po angielsku w skrócie: Kwiatek złapał gumę 700 m przed zakończeniem przedostatniego sektoru, przejechał go na flaku do końca i dopiero wtedy wymienił oponę. Czuł się świetnie i sądzi, że był w stanie powalczyć o etapowe zwycięstwo. Trentin twierdzi, że na ostatnich 10 odrobili 20 sekund do Nibalego, czyli przejechali mniej więcej w tempie Booma.
