Sports director: “We knew it was going to be a nervous day and we responded. I have confidence in my leader, Nairo Quintana, and he was not caught out today. I would also like to highlight the good work of Maxime Bouet and Lukas Owsian. The Tour de la Provence is not over but today we passed an important stage.”
