Matthew Harley Goss's comments after winning stage three with its big crash in the final corner: "It’s terrific. Yesterday it was close, today I had a good run. It was unfortunate that there was a fall but to me it was perfect. To get a stage for the team was the number one goal. The jersey is a bonus. There were tight corners in the finale and I was a little far back in the chicane but in the end I had a good run. The crash disrupted the sprint a little bit but it was alright for me."

Here's what Gregory Henderson had to say after the stage:

"I was really motivated today I wanted to stay close each day so I can take the yellow jersey. It’s always fantastic here, it’s an amazing race, it’s the biggest race for me, it’s the Everest. I won twice in it, the second year… But I owe it to a great lead-out by team-mate Geraint Thomas, I was just sitting there waiting. It was a really long sprint and I was lucky to hold the speed to the line.
It was crazy today, so nervous. Everyone was scared of the wind breaking the peloton to pieces. There were so many crashes, like ten crashes in the finish, it was just crazy. In the finale, it was just a matter of staying at the front as much as possible.
Now I’ll switch to helping. I’m not too sure I’ll have a go tomorrow. It will be full support for Brad Wiggins and Mick Rogers from now on. "
