- Peter Sagan (Bora-Hansgrohe) after Stage 3: "Thanks to all my teammates for their work today, they put in a very strong effort to bring back the break and shut the attacks. Unfortunately, it wasn't possible to catch Soler when he went off in the last climb, so the stage win got away today. I'm feeling better and I see my form improving, even under such awful conditions as the ones we had today."

- Wilco Kelderman (Bora-Hansgrohe) following Stage 3: "To say it was a horrible day would be an understatement but it is on stages as hard as this that the team's work stands out. Ben, Jordi and Burgi did a great job in controlling the race and catching the break while at the same time I was kept safe under these treacherous conditions and slippery roads. I finished with the select reduced group and will now focus on tomorrow's queen stage."

- Marc Soler (Movistar Team) won Stage 3 and is new overall leader.

- Rolf Aldag (Bahrain Victorious) after Stage 2, won by his rider Sonny Colbrelli: "After yesterday Sonny had the legs to win but was really close, so to build on that was the goal for today. It was really great to see the combination of a fast guy like Sonny and the GC guys (Jack and Damiano). We strategically put Pernsteiner in the breakaway, so we didn’t have to work. The mental strength of Pernsteiner was incredible to come back and work in the final. It was great to see. It shows the team spirit and how everyone is willing to work for each other to succeed. Today we got the reward, and I’m happy for Sonny, who worked so hard, and I’m proud of what the guys have done."

- Sonny Colbrelli (Bahrain Victorious) won Stage 2. Rohan Dennis retained the overall race lead.

- Peter Sagan (Bora-Hansgrohe) following his Stage 1 victory: "I'm really happy to win again in the Tour de Romandie. In 2010 I had taken the first road stage and here I am eleven years later with another victory. I have to thank my teammates for their great job today, in the last two laps they were pulling in the front and after the last climb, they held the bunch together. It feels nice after three weeks without any racing to come here and win, probably the only stage suited to me because the following ones will be very hard. Thanks as well to the whole team and its sponsors for their continuous support."

- Peter Sagan (Bora-Hansgrohe) won Stage 1. Rohan Dennis remains leader on G.C.

- Peter Sagan after the prologue: "Good opening time-trial in the Tour de Romandie that brought back nice memories from my first year as a professional rider. I gave my best to finish in a good position even if this short course wasn't particularly suited to me. I felt quite well, my condition is improving and I'll chase all opportunities in the next stages."

- André Schulze, Bora-Hansgrohe Sports Director: "It was quite a solid performance today. Wilco has put himself into a good position for the upcoming stages, and we're satisfied with the result of the Prologue. Tomorrow we're looking to the sprint, which we hope will be a stage for Peter."

- Wilco Kelderman (Bora-Hansgrohe) following the prologue ITT: "The parcours was very short today, but it was important to measure my effort to come in with a good time and avoid losing anything against the main GC contenders. I'm pleased with my result and am looking forward to the rest of the race this week."

- Rohan Dennis (INEOS Grenadiers) won the prologue individual time trial and is first leader in the general classification.

- Deceuninck-Quick-Step sports director Geert Van Bondt: "The Tour de Romandie is one of the hardest week-long stage races out there, with a lot of climbing and usually bad weather that can play an important role in the outcome, but we want to be prominent and get some strong results next week. We have three national time trial champions on the squad and they have what it takes to be up there in the two stages against the clock, although it should be noted that both time trials are very demanding and contain plenty of hurdles. Fausto is back from altitude training and we are curious to see what he can do in the general classification, while Dries, Mattia and Iljo bring in a lot of experience and will be there to support our ambitions."

- Primoz Roglic (Jumbo-Visma) following his victory on Stage 1: "I didn’t expect to win here.  After Tirreno-Adriatico, I went on an altitude camp in preparation for my main goal, the Giro. I recently came back from it. Then you have to wait and see how things will go. It was a tough day with a lot of climbing. It’s a nice feeling that I was able to win, especially in a sprint. It surprised me, because normally there is always someone who is faster. Winning in Romandie always is a special feeling. I love to race here. In Steven, we have a pawn who can go for the GC. He rode very well today, just like the rest of the team. We will continue to keep doing our best."

Maciej put in a good effort, and also our two GC-contenders Felix and Emanuel rode a solid race, avoiding to lose any important time for the overall ranking. I think, it was a good start for us here at the Tour of Romandie with these results. It is a well-casted stage race, therefore we focus on tomorrow’s first demanding road stage."

- Rui Costa (UAE Team Emirates) before the start of the 2019 Tour de Romandie: "The Tour de Romandie is a race that I always liked, also for its spot on the calendar at the end of the Ardennes Classics.  I climbed on the lowest step of the podium three times, taking advantage of my good form after racing in Belgium and the Netherlands. I hope to take a similar approach again this year, coming out of the Ardennes Classics and Liège-Bastogne-Liège in good shape, despite having suffered the cold weather on Sunday in the Doyenne. Looking at the overall, you have to consider this year the two time trials, suited to specialist. They will impact the results."

- Louis Meintjes (Team Dimension Data) before the start of the 2019 Tour de Romandie: "It is good to finally be lining up for a race again. It's been a slightly frustrating wait, recovering, from the crash at Paris-Nice but I am glad that is behind me now. Romandie will pretty much be like starting my season over again, which can be a good thing because even without knowing what kind of shape I do or don't have currently, we can still only build from here."

James Knox (GBR)
Davide Martinelli (ITA)
Fabio Sabatini (ITA)
Florian Sénéchal (FRA)
Elia Viviani (ITA)
Sports Directors Davide Bramati (ITA)
Rik van Slycke (BEL)

- Deceuninck-Quickstep sports director Davide Bramati: "Next week’s race will be a hard one, bookended by time trials and with many hard climbs which will shape the general classification. On paper, one, maybe two stages, will end up in a bunch sprint, and if this will happen, then Elia – who can rely on a strong train – will be our man.  We also have two youngsters on the squad, Remco and James, who have impressed this season, finishing in the top 10 overall at World Tour events. We’re looking forward to having both back in action, without putting any pressure on them, just taking it day by day and see how it goes."

- CCC Team roster for the 2019 Tour de Romandie:

Will Barta (USA)
Patrick Bevin (NZ)
Jakub Mareczko (ITA)
Łukasz Owsian (POL)
Joseph Rosskopf (USA)
Francisco Ventoso (ITA)
Riccardo Zoidl (AUT)
Sports Directors: Fabio Baldato (ITA), Gabriele Missaglia (ITA)

- More pre-race comments from Fabio Baldato: "We want to give the opportunity to everyone on the team to go out there and try to get a personal result. Some of the riders usually ride to support their leaders and in this race, they will have a chance to showcase themselves. Łukasz Owsian and Will Barta will look for their chances in the breakaways and hopefully one of them will go all the way. Even though the top ten of the General Classification may be hard to achieve, we are still very motivated to do well. We will take every stage day-by-day and see where that approach will take us. We are hoping that Bevin will have a successful performance in the prologue and then we will take it from there. A good start to a race always raises morale and the team spirit for the next stages."

- CCC Team Sports Director Fabio Baldato: "Our main objective for the Tour de Romandie is the prologue and the final time trial. With Patrick Bevin and Joey Rosskopf in the roster, we believe that we can fight for a top-five result or even a podium on those two stages. We are coming to Switzerland with no pure climber, and since there is a tough mountain top finish stage on day four, we don’t have big expectations in terms of the General Classification. However, we want to race aggressively and battle for stage wins. Riccardo Zoidl can do well in the mountainous terrain and Jakub Mareczko, who is also in good condition, should be up there with the best sprinters on stages two and three if it comes down to a bunch finish."

- Steffen Radochla, Bora-Hansgrohe Sport Director following Stage 4: "The plan was to attack before the last climb. After the attack that Pawel Poljanski and Emanuel Buchmann put in on the slopes of the penultimate climb, Emanuel was able to successfully bridge to the leading group. At the base of the last climb, the escapees had about a one minute advantage. The first part of the climb was not too steep and didn’t lead to any significant difficulties. However, then Team Sky took over the bulk of the pace making in the main field and the advantage of the leaders dropped to 30 seconds. I think that Emanuel put in an excellent performance today."

It was a good ride and I think all of us are extra motivated by the passing of Andy Rihs last week so, it's nice to come to his backyard and have a good ride.  Overall, I'm happy. It was a strong ride but normally I don't think I would have blown up as badly as I did in the final couple of kilometers. However, the team has been great behind me especially my coach, David Bailey, so we're motivated to try and finish this race off well."

With 50km remaining, the peloton had to crest a difficult climb, and it was at this point that Bahrain-Merida increased the tempo in order to shed the other sprinters. Pascal Ackermann wasn’t able to keep up with the tempo and was therefore unable to be in the mix in Yverdon-les-Bains today."

With a prologue, a climb time trial and a lot of climbing, it fits riders like Steve and Amanuel very well. Also Merhawi showed good riding in the Alps.
