“It was one of the best days of my career,” Cort said after the end of stage 3. “This is a day that I will remember forever. Being out there alone with all of those people, the Danish flags, was truly something special. It was really a lot of fun and I enjoyed it a lot,”

When asked about how he felt seeing his fan's support, He said  “I couldn’t get bored out there with all the people cheering me on. I’d never been on a solo break like that. It was a huge day out. There was a lot of wind, but a crowd like that gives you energy. It’s been unbelievable, these last three days in Denmark. I never imagined it would be this big. It seems like a lot of the Danish spectators are very happy to have been visited by the Tour,”

He concluded with “It’s always huge to do something in the Tour, To be two days in the break and be in the mountain’s jersey in Denmark, it’s been a dream for me," He will start the fourth stage of the Tour with polka dot jersey on his shoulder.
