Alaphilippe: “Tadej played it smart”
Julian Alaphilippe (Deceuninck-Quick-Step): “I came with the ambition to get the best result possible. My team did a great job. I tried to handle the finale the best I could. It was really hard in the Roche-aux-Faucons. Then, we worked well until the last 2 kilometres. I was focused on the sprint, I didn’t want to attack or to play games with someone going off the front.

11| Tadej POGACAR
Pogacar: “It’s incredible”
Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates): “I’m lost for words. I love this race, and to win here, against these great names, it’s incredible.

We were really disappointed [not to participate in the Flèche Wallonne] and we were really motivated today. We are really really happy. Now I can rest, spend some time with my family and prepare for the Tour de France.”
