Jonas Vingegaard, yellow jersey after the 18th stage of the Tour de France arriving in Bourg-en-Bresse on Thursday:

“It was a day not too stressful but fast. I wouldn’t say it was an easy day, but the sprinter teams tried to go for the win. Bad luck for them, they couldn’t get the breakaway. I manage to stay focused and I will relax when we get to Paris, not before. Days like these are the ones where you can really lose the lap, you really have to stay focused.
