Jay Vine (UAE Team Emirates): "I didn’t quite feel myself this morning and I let the guys know that. After the first KOM, sprinting with Wout [van Aert], I just didn’t feel it so I decided to work for the other two [Marc Soler and Isaac Del Toro] and Marc was able to come away with the victory. I remember I was in the race two years ago when he won in Bilbao on stage 5 so it’s pretty special, you know, I’ve ridden with Marc a number of times, and to be part of another win for the team in the Vuelta is great. [Van Aert crashing out is] absolutely not the way I wanted to take the polka-dot and honestly, he was beating me in the sprints at the top of these climbs. But the goal today was a victory for the team and that goal was achieved. We had three riders in the break, it was a great move. Del Toro is a young guy, in his first Grand Tour, and he was looking really good today."
