The ARKEA-B&B HOTELS Development team will be on home turf for seven days in the Tour de Bretagne, a race that offers an ideal playing field for fast riders like Emmanuel Houcou.

I'm feeling really good at the moment. I'm feeling good. I've recovered well from Paris-Roubaix Espoirs. The Tour de Bretagne is one of the major objectives for the ARKEA-B&B HOTELS team, but also one of the longest stage races on the calendar for the continental development squad. It will be a particularly demanding seven days of racing. I like the route, with plenty of opportunities to shine from a personal point of view. We have a very competitive team lined up for this Tour de Bretagne. The six riders in the ARKEA-B&B HOTELS team can look for results on the stages and, depending on the race scenario, aim for a good overall classification.

Directeur sportif

The Tour de Bretagne is always an important event for the ARKEA-B&B HOTELS team, because we're at home and, as far as the continental development structure is concerned, it's one of the best races of the season, with a very strong field. We'll be aiming to shine by winning the stages. On paper, this year's route is cut out for fast riders capable of overcoming the difficulties often found in the middle of a stage. We've got a lot going for us in that respect, with the likes of Emmanuel Houcou and Lucas Janssen. The final stage, with its finish in Plancoët, looks like being the most difficult, although not insurmountable. If we're ahead every day, the general classification should follow naturally as the stages go by.
