- Christian Pömer, Sports Director (Bora-Hansgrohe), after Stage 4: "We wanted to ride aggressive again, but we also knew it will be hard to send Felix or Matteo in the group as both were sitting at around 2:30 in GC. When Felix was at the front, as a result the bunch controlled the gap at that margin, and this wasn’t enough to survive the final. But we gave it a try, so it’s ok. Matteo tried to follow the leaders then on the last climb but was dropped around 4km to the top. Still a 10th place is ok, and we’ll see if there is another opportunity tomorrow to grab a stage win."

- Matteo Fabbro (Bora-Hansgrohe) after Stage 4: "I tried to go for a result in the end, but it wasn’t enough today for the first group. I didn’t have the best legs after yesterday’s effort in the break and Ineos was pulling incredibly hard on the last climb. I knew I had to go early to have a chance, but it wasn’t possible with this high pace. When I was dropped, I found my rhythm and also didn’t risk too much in the technical downhill."

- Gianni Moscon (INEOS Grenadiers) after his Stage 3 victory: "On Monday I broke the ice in Innsbruck, now I have regained my confidence and feeling with victory. The stage was clearly suited for long-run breakaways, with its challenging profile. In the final kilometers we were down to four and insisted in our action until the finish: it worked out well. Dreaming of a hat-trick in my Trentino might seem too much right now: tomorrow we are expected by a hard and important stage, and we are ready to stand by Pavel Sivakov, hoping that his fall will leave no significant aftermath."

- Gianni Moscon (INEOS Grenadiers) won Stage 3. Simon Yates (Team BikeExchange) retained the overall race lead.

- Matt White, Head Sport Director, Team BikeExchange: "Today was an impressive ride by Simon, a lot of hard work has gone into his preparation and this race is all part of his Giro d'Italia build up. It is the first win of the year for him and I am sure not his last. We will now look to defend his lead in this race until the end."

- Simon Yates (Team BikeExchange) after Stage 2, which he won: "I tried really hard; it was a very tough climb. Those guys were not easy to get rid of, I tried several times and that really took it out of me for the valley road to the finish. I enjoy these (shorter) stages, we race from the start rather than messing around for 150km and then racing only for the final. It was a good day for us, my first win of the year so I am very happy. So far so good but there’s still a lot of very hard stages to come so we will see what we can do in the next few days."

- Simon Yates (Team BikeExchange) won Stage 2 and took over the lead on G.C.

- Anton Palzer (Bora-Hansgrohe) following Stage 1: "Very cool experience. I didn't really have any problems riding uphill, but it's amazing to see how hectic everything is. You always have to be fully involved so that you don't lose touch. It all takes so much energy to be focused all the time. That makes you tired over time. Unfortunately, on the last small climb I was too far behind and when the driver in front of me lost the connection, I thought you couldn't get there anymore. I really enjoyed it and I am confident that I will find my way around better and better over the next few days and I am happy that the next few days will go to the right mountains."

- Gianni Moscon (INEOS Grenadiers) won Stage 1 and is first leader in the general classification.

- Rafal Majka (Bora-Hansgrohe) following Stage 3: "I feel that my form is good. I want to particularly thank Pawel for his help on the last climb, and all my teammates who helped me earlier in the race to always be in a good position. We still have a few stages left with long climbs, and we’ll continue to fight for good results."

- Christian Poemer, Sports Director, Bora-Hansgrohe after Stage 3: "Today went well for us. We tried to motivate the sprinters in the team to assist the climbers as long as possible. Andreas Schillinger did a particularly good job today, however, Rüdiger Selig suffered from respiratory problems and unfortunately had to abandon the race. In the end, it was a battle between the strongest riders in the race, and Rafal was right up there with them. It is a bit difficult to fight for stage victories with only two climbers in the team here. However, there are still stages with long climbs to come, and we’ll continue to pursue our main objective of a stage win."

- Ben O'Connor (Team Dimension Data) following Stage 5: "Today was another day of tough racing, around the World Champs course. Sky took the race on initially but then it was Astana who really forced the pace on the 2nd time up the climb and blew the race to pieces. I was feeling really good and was ready try something similar to the other day, when I won, but I had a really untimely puncture on the last climb. I had a big chase and got back to Chris Froome and the onus was on him to ride. It was only down at the bottom of the descent were it all regrouped.  The team was really helpful too, getting me into position before getting onto the circuit, which was crucial. I didn't have to spend any unnecessary energy and then it was down to my legs on the circuit.  I got a few seconds back over some of our rivals which allowed me to move up a spot on GC. Finishing in 7th is absolutely amazing and winning the white jersey, it was something I looked at but I wasn't absolutely sure I could do it. So, this week has given me a massive confidence boost, knowing I can be up there on GC and ride with the best guys in the world. The way the team has helped me develop is something I think no other team would have allowed me to do, so a big thank you to the team."
