Brodie Chapman (UAE Team ADQ): "There was a really big fight for the breakaway. I think it took 50 km for anything to go and actually I ended up joining the breakaway a bit later on. We started and the peloton calmed down and then later on it got a bit aggressive again, so I took an opportunity and bridged across. You always have to have the belief that maybe you can go to the line. It really depends on the peloton behind, but everyone in the breakaway was pushing pretty hard, so maybe another day it goes to the line. The ones that are left here [after losing three UAE Team ADQ teammates to withdrawals] are super motivated to do something. It's the Tour de France. It's the biggest race. We definitely want to show ourselves and yeah it was a really nice moment today when Maeva [Squiban] came across with the group. I thought maybe she could attack and so we have to try, we have to try something, you know. [Being on the podium] Oh, it's awesome. It's really cool to see all the crowds here and stand on the podium at the Tour de France. It's not the win, but it's nice to have my work recognised."
