Benoît Cosnefroy: "Winning a stage
"I've just come off a course in Sierra Nevada which went really well. It's a good block of work for the second half of the season, with a mix of high altitude and more leisurely outings. We've worked well. I'm looking forward to the Boucles de la Mayenne. There's always an element of uncertainty just after a high-altitude training camp , but I hope I'll be in good condition to play up front. The course is a little more hilly than last year, so it suits me better. It's going to be a good battle, especially on the first two days. The aim will be to win a stage, but why not think about the overall classification if things go well? I hope to build up pressure until the Tour de Suisse (June 12-19) and be ready for the start of the Tour de France (July 1-24) in just over a month's time."[/su_quote]
