Matteo Trentin (Quick-Step Floors): “I really wanted that victory. I had been thinking about this stage for a while. The climb was hard but it was even so I know that's something I can handle really well. I knew the downhill was super technical. It was good for me having (Jose Joaquin) Rojas with me because he was really good in the downhill. I just followed him and to be honest, when he was really pushing, I was a bit in trouble to follow him even though I'm good descender. We could distance all the other riders and then I dominated the sprint. I knew he was from around. When he passed me in the climb, I knew he wanted to go fulls gas in the downhill. Now we need a fifth stage win at La Vuelta (after winning 5 at the Tour and the Giro)!”
