Mads Pedersen (Lidl-Trek) took 25 points during Stage 19, and has now a 57-point lead over Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin-Premier Tech) for the green jersey.
"I'm proud of myself and proud of the whole team. We made a plan a bit optimistic, but in the end it worked out and we managed to get another 25 points. We gained back the big loss we had a few days ago and it's really nice."
"It would have been nice not to make the big mistake the other day, but we will try again tomorrow and maybe seal it there. If not, it’s gonna be a good fight in Paris, but it’s way more comfortable than it was some days ago."
"It’s of course insane [to have this crowd in l’Alpe d’Huez], it was incredible. Thanks to everyone who took the time to come here, cheer and have a big party. It's really impressive."
