Sylvain Moniquet (Lotto Dstny): "It was super hard, especially with the heat today. It was crazy warm. Maybe it doesn’t look like that in the television, but it was super warm, especially in the last climb. The pace was super hard, maybe to drop sprinters, I don’t know which were the tactics. But it was a crazy climb. I tried to stick with the group as long as possible, to maybe play for the points at the top, but the legs weren’t there. I think the heat hit me a little bit too much, but I hope tomorrow it’s going to be different. Tomorrow there’s not so many points, but Sunday is one of the queen stages of this Vuelta. There’s a lot of points you can get. Also, I think everyone knows these climbs there, because it’s famous for the training camps. I will try everything I can to keep the jersey."
