(Cyclingnews.com)

Thibaut Pinot (Groupama-FDJ) - Stage winner `When you`re a climber all wins at the Tour de France are beautiful, but to win on a monument like this, that`s what I love. `We were motivated. It was extraordinary [what Gaudu did] - that was the future. In a few years it will be him. `I was angry. We will continue to fight. The Tour isn`t finished yet.`ADVERTISEMENT Geraint Thomas (Team Ineos) - Second overall, dropped on final climb `I just [felt] quite weak. At the end I knew I had to try to pace it. I didn`t really attempt to follow when they kicked. I just felt it was better to ride at my own pace and try to limit my losses that way, rather than stay with them and blow up on the steepest bit at the end. Maybe I should`ve tried to stay with them, but it`s just one of those days. `It was a tough day out there, and it`s disappointing. But it is what it is, and I just tried to limit the damage. `I think we`ll see in the next few days [if it`s a physical problem]. Like I say, from the start I didn`t feel great.

I knew they`d kick at the end and I just tried to ride at my own pace and not go with them and die and lose more time.
