Greg van Avermaet: « Un contre la montre en équipe est toujours quelque chose de spécial. Toute l’équipe fait l’effort de gagner pour un seul but et je pense que l’on a état les maîtres du jeu. Je suis vraiment heureux d’en faire partie. C’est un gros objectif de revêtir le jaune la première semaine, je l’ai porté une fois auparavant et c’était incroyable. Je l’ai pour la deuxième fois et je vais en profiter pleinement demain. Je tiens à remercier mes coéquipiers car sans eux, ça ne serait pas arrivé. »
