Soler: “It’s a reward for all my work”

Marc Soler (UAE Team Emirates): “In the end, [the Super Combative award means] that I fought to get those stage wins and that I was in the breakaway a lot. It's a reward for all that work. It has been a very hard Vuelta, but yes, in the end it was good for me that it was more demanding and with more gradient to be able to be in breakaways and fight for stages and get the...

O'Connor: "I’ve achieved something unique"

Ben O’Connor (Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale): “I’m just a proud man, you know. I think I’ve gone about my business well and I can’t believe to come out like this, in 2nd. There was a point in the race where I thought that if I did my absolute best every single day, then it would be difficult [but possible to win La Vuelta]. It’s been a crazy...

Groves: "La Vuelta seems to treat me quite well"

Kaden Groves (Alpecin-Deceuninck): “I think it’s quite a lot different, actually last year was a different experience collecting points. This year, obviously, Wout van Aert crashed out and left me with the jersey so it’s a bittersweet victory. But it’s really nice to be back here and it’s not for nothing. The team worked really hard and I know myself...

Vine: “It’s fantastic after the year that I had”

Jay Vine (UAE Team Emirates): “Two years ago, I was on cloud nine, two stage wins and in the mountain jersey with a comfortable lead, ready to come to Madrid, and then disaster struck on stage 18.

Skjelmose: “This is more a milestone than a breakthrough”

Mattias Skjelmose (Lidl-Trek): “Yes, job is done! I wasn’t feeling very good, to be honest, but I think none of the GC guys were feeling really good. It’s been a crazy hard Vuelta, emptying the tank almost every day, no easy riding almost from Portugal. I think everybody started to feel it. Confident is a big word, but I know we have good equipment, I know...

Roglic: “Four La Vuelta wins is crazy”

Primoz Roglic (Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe): “It’s nice [to hold the record for most overall victories in La Vuelta]. Today, I wanted to finish it off. It was tough but everything went fine and I’m happy. I saw [Stefan Küng’s performance]. We all know he’s strong in this kind of flat time-trials. Still, I tried to motivate myself to go for it,...

Küng: "It’s been a long time in the making"

Stefan Küng (Groupama-FDJ): “It’s amazing. I’ve been fighting for a Grand Tour stage win for a very long time. I really wanted that win today and I knew with this parcours you had to go out hard and keep it together until the end. That’s what I did I suffered a lot today but I think everyone did at the end of this hard Vuelta. And I’m just...
