Valentin Paret-Peintre : " Bring my contribution
"I haven't raced since the Tour du Limousin (August 16-19) but I've been feeling good in training these last few days and I'm motivated to finish the season well in Italy with the AG2R CITROËN team.
Being a new professional, I never had the opportunity to race these Italian semi-classics at the end of the season but I know that the level is often high and that they are races with a lot of movement.
We will have a great team at the start of the Giro dell'Emilia. I hope to contribute to the team on this race and the next one (Coppa Bernocchi on October 3rd) to get a good result.
This would end on a positive note my first year in the pros that I consider mixed."[/su_quote]
The number: 2016
The AG2R CITROËN team's last podium finish at the Giro dell'Emilia was in 2016 with Romain Bardet's second place.
