Our riders succeeded in applying the instructions. Hubert Grygowski worked for 120 kilometers at the front of the pack, then we relied on Alessandro Verre and Louis Barré in the final climbs. Unfortunately, we came up against a big UAE team today. Louis and Alessandro ended up in the first group of chasers who had to fight it out for 2nd place. We'd hoped for a better result at the finish, but the shape of our group is nonetheless satisfactory.

Team UAE was in control all day. On the last two difficulties, they stepped up the pace. At the top of the penultimate climb, we switched to a group of 10 with Alessandro Verre, then on the final climb of the day, Jan Christen went off on his own and we found ourselves in 2nd place in the race. In the final, there were attacks in all directions to go for the podium. It was a bit of a lottery to see who'd get away. It's a shame, because we were very much in the thick of things in the finale.
