マクギー "I had a good race today and we have a good team at FDJ.com; what I did today was because everyone worked well together. We worked out a plan together to win and that's the way it turned out...I'm very, very happy." ミラー "I'm really disappointed about my race today. I lost at least 5 seconds when the chain got caught between the chainrings - that happened to two other guys on the team today." アームストロング "I'm a little bit disappointed by the way things went. I certainly wanted to win today since it was the Centenary prologue. I started a bit slow and just couldn't get up to speed after that," スベルディア (Zubeldia surprised himself with his ride today.) "I haven't been expecting to ride so well that at the Tour, but today showed I had good legs so I can hope to do something at this year's Tour", シモーニ said Simoni of his 21st place, just 6" behind Armstrong. "That first climb was kind of tough on the legs, but after that I was able to make a good comeback...I haven't raced much since the Giro so I need a few days to get used to the race. This was a good start to the Tour for me." ウルリヒ "This was a good jump from my Tour de Suisse form to the Tour and so my gap today to the prologue specialists like McGee was very close."
