After the triumphant finish, Elisa Longo Borghini commented on the day and the team's performance: "The team made a masterpiece, today we had a clear objective: to win and take the jersey. The entire team was fantastic: for a moment, Silvia and I were left out of the leading group due to an echelon, but Elynor Bäckstedt brought us back to the right position with great work. Then we climbed at the front and at a great pace, I chose the right moment and attacked. It was a bit of a crazy day, but I'm happy because I really wanted to win for myself, for the team, but also for a family friend who left us a few weeks ago. This victory is for him!"

Elisa doesn't hide her particular satisfaction with the entire UAE ADQ team's performance and then looks ahead to tomorrow: "We want to win this race and certainly tomorrow we will defend the red jersey until the end. It will be a really beautiful day tomorrow"
