Today's queen stage turned into a sprint to the line for the rouleurs.
"I knew I had a fast finish but I almost thought I'd lost it because I launched my sprint quite late, but it was enough. A lot of thanks to the team car and staff who managed to keep me cool with water and ice the whole day, I think that was really the key. On the last climb I just hung on, I was fighting to stay with Masnada, he almost cracked me, but he also obviously was on the limit."

"We were happy to let the breakaway go away and it took a bit of time but we eventually got a good breakaway to go and I think Ineos had the same idea. The time trial will be really decisive so it wouldn't be bad for me to have a few more seconds on Geraint Thomas but for now, I'm happy to have the jersey. One day at a time, things can change very fast. I hope I can finish it off in a good way. My goal was to try and win Tour de Suisse. I have two third places and one second place in GC and I want to try to win it. Now I have the yellow and I will fight until the very end to keep it."
-Jakob Fuglsang
