“Yes, for sure, I had never thought about it”declares French. “Like yesterday, we took the race at the place from the start, we were present in every blow, everyone worked well. Even Paul (Seixas) was offensive, we never let a group leave without being there, so we are really happy to be in front. Then, a big group was out with Louka Lesueur originally. When I knew that I was first to the provisional general, it was incredible. Dangerous runners to the general, those at 6-10 seconds, and it paid: I am in yellow.he explains.
“Yes, it is strategic. In the final, especially in the last big straight line, we had to remain very attentive, because other runners also aimed at the jersey. François Trarieux came twice to the car to give us indications, since we did not have the earrings. He told us about a runner at 6 seconds, two to 10 seconds, so I remained focused on them, while Lucas stayed in the wheels. Rolled up, it was complicated, but in the end we take the yellow jersey, and it is great.concludes Maxime DECOMBLE.
