Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin-Deceuninck), stage winner on Eurosport:
"That was a great team performance today. Without my team, my third stage win today would not have been possible. I'm proud of how we worked together throughout the day. We came together very well in the finale - I'm simply overjoyed and proud. We were well together in the last kilometre and I always had a good rear wheel in front of me. When I pulled away for the sprint, it was pretty perfect. It's crazy to have taken three stage wins - a dream come true! But we'll keep going and hopefully celebrate more victories. I'm also looking forward to Paris."
Philipsens helpers also praise rider van der Poel
Sören Kragh Andersen (Alpecin-Deceunick), on Eurosport:
"That was the most difficult finale so far. Five kilometres before the finish, we had problems coming together in an organised way. But we kept fighting and tried to come back. Mathieu (van der Poel; editor's note) once again rode a super leadout and Jasper (Philipsen; editor's note) is simply the fastest rider at the moment. Things are going very well for us at the moment!"
Ramon Sinkeldam (Alpecin-Deceunick), on Eurosport:
"Three victories in bunch sprints - that's really incredible. Jasper (Philipsen, editor's note) is probably just the fastest at the moment. But every sprint is different in the Tour de France - you have to work hard for the victories. With riders like van der Poel it's much easier, of course. No matter which course you ride, it's always chaotic. Today it went well and safely for everyone."
Cavendish disappointed
Mark Cavendish (Astana Qazaqstan Team), stage runner-up on Eurosport:
"I was in a really good position - where I wanted to be. I also had the right pace and the right rear wheel. Nevertheless, it wasn't enough. Of course I'm disappointed, but we'll keep trying. The guys are doing a good job."
Matteo Trentin (UAE Team Emirates), on Eurosport:
"It got stressful early on today. We held back at first before moving forward in the last 15 kilometres. It was good that we followed Vingegaard there. In the end, the sprinters did what they had to do and the day was done. Overall, it was a good day for us."
Luca Mozzato (Arkea-Samsic), fourth on Eurosport:
"Overall, I'm very happy because it's my best result in the Tour de France. This year, the level of the sprinters is very high. That's why I'm just trying to do my best. It's gone quite well for me so far. The finale today was chaotic, but I was lucky because I was in the right place to ride my sprint at a good time. Because I crashed beforehand, I'm happy with the circumstances today."
