“One of the hardest days of my life, both mentally and physically …”
“Frankly, winning once on the Tour is already huge. Second victory today … Frankly, I have even fewer words than yesterday”Breton 23 years begins. “I had said to laugh yesterday that I attacked the zero kilometer. In the end, I did it, but basic, it was a joke. In the end, it went to the end. It's just incredible. I did not have in a corner of my head the idea of making a double. I just wanted to say that we are concentrated, because until the end, you never know what can happen. Final, it worked. No longer heard anything.concludes Maeva Squibanat the microphone of the organization.
