The escape of the day...
"I was determined to get in the breakaway today, but it was far from easy. I went solo with 50 km to go but with the wind against me, it was impossible. But no, the KOM jersey is within reach."
-Rein Taaramae
"Rein Taaramae, now third in the mountains standings, respectively 12 and 8 points behind Joel Suter and Davide Villella. I take my hat off to Rein Taaramae. He did a brilliant step. The Combativite Prize is fully justified after his courageous effort. He succeeded in carrying out our plan to be part of the breakaway and go on further. Also, he has racked up a lot of points in the mountain standings and is now third."
-Hilaire Van der Schueren. DS Intermarche-Wanty-Gobert Materiaux.

The winning margin
"Patrick (Bevin, 2nd place) is working really hard, he has good sprint and it's been three good days for him. Tomorrow (Friday) shouldn't be a problem and it will even be another great opportunity for him."
-Guillaume Boivin. Israel Start-Up Nation, 86th @ 7'32"
