Anthony Delaplace

The breakaway that Mathis Le Berre and I were in was a good move, I understood shortly before the hour mark that being a group of 10-12 riders we could hope to go far, or even play for the victory. The first three were really strong, I saw that quickly. I tried to save myself as much as possible for the final. But when they came out in a sprint on the last climb of the Pigeonnière, Mathis and I stalled. We then gave it our all to try to get back to the leading trio, we almost made the connection. But in any case we wouldn't have been able to compete, we left a lot of energy in the pursuit that we started. No regrets, the strongest were in front

I had told the riders that the classic scenario here was that the breakaway had a good chance of going all the way. This proved to be true once again. When the breakaway of twelve took shape, we were represented by Anthony Delaplace and Mathis Le Berre. The heat made the race even more difficult. The winner of the day was the strongest. We could perhaps have played a little more when we were in front, but as I have already pointed out, the heat is unforgiving. That's how it is...
