Arnaud Démare

I just want to keep the positive and the sprint that I did today, thanks to the excellent work of my entire train, and in particular of Dan McLay. I throw from afar, that's what I like, and I believed in victory. It's good for morale, today we all found our feet together. What happened to me motivates me even more for the next stages which can end in a sprint in this Tour de France. A great dynamic has been established within the ARKEA-B&B HOTELS team. We will continue in this direction and do everything to continue to shine.

There are two things to remember today. The first is that Raúl, after his fall, escaped without a fracture, just with skin abrasions on his arm and on his nose, which is reassuring. I also remember the superb work done around Arnaud Démare. He was able to express himself, achieve a very good sprint to place third. As for downgrading, I'm not here to judge anyone. In my opinion, Arnaud performs a very good sprint. Afterwards, people who make decisions do so in their souls and conscience.
