Geoffrey Bouchard: "It's a little frustrating
"We managed to get out on the top of the climb after an hour of racing. In the breakaway, we got along well, it was going very fast.
In the last few bumps, I tried to attack but I was very tired and the headwind was not favorable to a single man. We looked at each other a bit, fortunately we had some margin. It's a shame to miss out on a great victory. Like in Paris-Camembert (4th), the one who attacks at the red flame goes to the end, so it's a bit annoying."[/su_quote]
