Speaking seconds after the stage finish, the stage winner and new Red Jersey Lotte Kopecky said: "This is my first mountain top finish victory. It's crazy. I was very motivated for this stage. I dreamed of this and I hoped for it but I first had to see how deep I could go. I went kilometre by kilometre, knowing that legs hurt on this climb. In a few seconds it could turn from having it into blowing up. I was in a little bit of panic when the Canyon girl [Neve Bradbury] attacked. But I found my rhythm. I came closer and I was confident I could make it. I came here for preparation for the Spring classics. It's important for my confidence to get to know that the shape is already good enough for winning a stage race.".
