“I finished a bit tight”
“It took a bit of anticipation. Unfortunately, when Mathieu van der Poel left, I had just joined the group after a puncture. I had to recover. Afterwards, it was a race out of time. The conditions made that the advance was favorable. Gianni Moscon has been in the lead for a very long time. He made mistakes with fatigue. Usually, you can come in thirtieth in sectors and manage a little more. Today [dimanche], we had to be in the ten, otherwise we would take breaks. With the cold, the rain, the mud which add to the fatigue, I finished a little tight “, a story Antoine Turgis.
