Louis Rouland

I was surprised when it came out in the first part of the race. I went on the counterattack, but there were only two of us, which meant that I left a lot of bullets in this pursuit. We managed to make the junction. At the end of the race, we received information indicating that it was coming back in groups from behind, with quite a few teams in excess. When we understood that it would not come back, I tried to play my card. I saw that it was getting disorganized. A rider from Nantes was in front. I tried to do the "jump", but there was another rider from this team in our group. He attacked me in the final to catch up with his teammate. There's nothing to say, the strongest finished in front

We wanted to win this Grand Prix de Plouay. Louis Rouland was the leader of the ARKEA-B&B HOTELS Continentale Développement team and he held his own with a third place. He found himself in front with Baptiste Gillet. But Nantes was very strong today. I understood that they would be difficult to beat when Basset went out alone in the final, and Braz Alfonso controlled behind. We saw the ARKEA-B&B HOTELS Continental Développement Excalibur jersey all day on the roads of Plouay. I am satisfied with the team, the riders are in good shape which suggests a good end to the season.
