Reaction from Thibaut Pinot, who finished fourth overall: "I would have loved to be on the podium, but here were stronger opponents, so no complaints. The tension was tough. I needed to go fast but I felt like I wasn't really strong. I had a different feeling. Overall, I'm happy. I wanted to get high up the standings and get a stage win, and that is what has happened."

More from Van Emden: "I was two seconds faster [than Dumoulin] and then six seconds faster, but my second part was really fast and I only gained four seconds, so I thought, 'Ooh, no no no', but then I saw him coming around the corner and the clock was ticking. I shouted out and so much emotions for winning a stage of a Grand Tour. I'm so happy."

Reaction from stage winner Jos van Emden: "I was too much times second, and this is a great day for Dutch cycling. Tom wins, I win, finally. I think there are two really happy people here."
