We certainly expected him in escape on this 10th stage of Tour de Franceunfortunately this was not the case. French Romain Grégoire On the other hand attempted to hang on to the peloton led by a frantic pace of the formation UAE Team Emirates-XRG and the many team offensives Visma | Lease a Bike.

“The level is still quite impressive …”
“Yeah, Toulouse, there is when msmoothe a beautiful step. I will recognize that tomorrow, to see what it gives on the field. But Toulouse will be the next meeting for the Punchers, and afterwards, it will rather be escaped on stages like Carcassonne “explains the training runner Groupama-FDJ. “It was really the perfect step to put after 10 days. It is a difficult step, but at the same time that everyone can hang on, so that is what is worse in fact. Even mentally, we are at the ramp all day, we hang, we have a pain in the legs, but you have to resist. So no, frankly, it was a very very beautiful step, and I think you really have a good show. The world has died even for 2-3 days, and at the same time, this is where it can be seen that it is very high level: it rides still very quickly and everyone is still there, clings and resists.
So there is fatigue, but yeah, the level is still quite impressive. I don't know at all that happened today, I focused enough on my effort and on the peloton. But yeah, it's clear that this year, he gets used to fairly crazy numbers. This day of rest is greatly awaited, it is sure that one more day, it does not seem much, but it still makes one more day. It weighs in the legs. Tomorrow I think I'm going to do as little as possible, it's to rest as much as possible. I think it depends on the runners. On my other big towers, I did not necessarily take out the bike on the day of rest. Tomorrow, since there is Toulouse on Wednesday, which can be an important step, I will still make the effort to go and roll a little blow to recognize the final of the stage “concludes Romain Grégoire to our microphone Cyclism’Actu.
