On the occasion of the 14th stage of The returnwe return to land dear to David Gaudu (Groupama-FDJ)! Indeed, the arrival will be judged at the top of the Farrapona (16.8 km at 6%), where the Breton won the first of his three stage victories on the Tour of Spainin 2020. Before finding the terrible percentages leading to the lakes of Somiedo, the French confided in this stage rich in symbols for him, but also on his young teammate Brieuc Rollandimpressive since the start of this Tour of Spain.
“It's a great moment in my career”
“It is certain that it is a very beautiful moment of my career, it was my first victory over a big tour, so it remains a great memory” explained David Gaudu Before this 14th which sees him return to the land that made him shine. “It's good to change, the last time (in 2020) we had Farapona and the next day Angliru, so we did Angliru yesterday and the Farapona today, so it feels good to change a little bit.” Despite the desire to perform on the slopes of Farapona, Breton does not hide having many questions about the possibilities of the breakaway this Saturday: “It can leave a little more freedom that Jonas did not win yesterday, after Jonas will perhaps want to win today, put the counters to zero? Is Almeida also regained confidence and say that he can save, take time, take bonuses against Vingegaard? There are many hypotheses still on paper.”
More Guisor also spoke on Brieuc Rollandnot moved away from playing the stage victory on the 12th stage of this Tour of Spain : “Brieuc is a young man who has a lot of talent, who has a lot of future, it is not the young person who is 18 who crushes everything at La Paul Seixas but it is someone who is kindly progressing, who is in logical continuity. What is funny is that I covered with his brother, we had the same trainer when we were amateurs. He is a boy who has a lot of humor, who has a lot of talent.
