Marc Sarreau: "I want to do well".
"Following my crash in the fifth stage of the Tour of Poland on August 3, I had a little pain in my left knee that bothered me for a few days. The Circuit Franco-Belge (August 10) did not go as planned with a puncture and average sensations but it has been better since.
The Bemer Cyclassics is a race that I know well and that corresponds to my qualities. I hope I can do well. I'll follow it up with the Tour Poitou-Charentes (August 23-26) in New Aquitaine, where I'll need to build up my confidence with several sprint finishes."[/su_quote]

"I am happy to continue the adventure with the AG2R CITROËN team for the next two years. Helping riders like Greg Van Avermaet and Oliver Naesen to win the world's greatest classics is rewarding. I would like to thank the staff for integrating me into this very good group. It's a real sign of confidence and I hope to continue to progress and make my contribution to the results of the AG2R CITROËN team," said Damien Touzé.
