Clément Venturini

I achieved a top 10 in the World Tour, but I still have a little bitter feeling. The sprint, here, is always special in any case, and I don't feel like I was able to do it fully. I moved to the right of the road precisely so as not to find myself boxed in, but I wasn't able to produce the effort that would have allowed me to be higher in the ranking. Afterwards, I am also aware that there are riders who would have liked to be in my place, who are fifteenth and who also had the means to achieve a top 10 in this magnificent Breton World Tour classic. I was able to measure in this long and difficult competition that during the climbs, I was always there, vigilant, never in great difficulty. It is proof that I am in good shape. I hope that this bodes well for the end of this good season.

The sprinting teams competing in this Bretagne Classic wanted this event to end in a sprint. And they did everything they could to make this scenario happen. The riders from the ARKEA-B&B HOTELS team tried to be offensive. The goal in the final was to protect Clément Venturini and put him in the best possible position for the sprint. He finished in the top 10 and this rewarded the work done by all his teammates. We always hope for a little more, and that’s my state of mind, but sometimes you also have to be satisfied with what you have. We all know that the sprint is always special, and complicated in Plouay, but Clément could have finished fourth or fourteenth. Top ten shows that the ARKEA-B&B HOTELS team is there. It’s important to be present in Brittany.
