“This blue-white-red jersey … it's too good to be true”
“Sorry…“continued Marie Le Netin search of his words and his calm. “”We know that the French championship is an open race, anything can happen. So limit, sometimes we tell ourselves that it is too good to be true. And in the end, I have the impression that we checked the race from A to Z. I knew that it was always necessary to have a step ahead, that's what I tried to do. At the beginning there were three of us, then with Léa (Curinier, 2nd on arrival, editor's note). You should not give in to pressure, all stay in control. And I can never thank all my teammates enough. Léa of course, because she sacrificed herself, but also all the girls behind. This blue-white-red jersey … I don't have it on me yet, I don't believe it. We know that everyone wants to have it, our strength, it was our collective. And I think luck was my side today, it could have been anyone. Why was I who left ahead, I don't know“She explained, a little lost, before being joined by Léa Curinierthe vice-champion of France which helped her in the finale.
“I owe him 10,000 to Léa … I am lifetime for life, frankly thank you for everything“She wanted to pay tribute to him. Curinier then in turn analyzed this perfect race for the FDJ-Suez. “We tried to communicate, at the beginning I had no super sensations, with the heat and everything. It's been a while since we were in front, it was starting to be hard. Marie was the best card in the event of a sprint, this is not my strength. I tried to put one before the last passage on the line, then she managed to leave with Julie (Bégo). I did the forcing to come back behind, and she finished the job as it did, happy to do 1 and 2, we did the job“She concluded.
