Stage winner Alexey Lutsenko: "This victory is very important for me. This is the Tour de France, the most important race in the world. I’m very happy. I’ve worked so hard to get this victory. All this work has paid off.
"Since I had lost quite some time in previous stages, I had the chance to go in the breakaway. I did my best on the last climb to win. I never actually got dropped - I just kept a steady pace. The team car was telling us on the radio there were two very hard kilometres at the second part of the climb, so I rode my tempo and gave it all at those to create a gap big enough to win."
