Antoine Raugel: "Curious to see what it will be like in the race
"After the end of the Vuelta à Espana (August 19 - September 11), I took two days off and then got back on the bike.
The post grand tour is a new experience for me. The sensations in training are quite surprising but not bad. The difference in heat between Spain and the return to France also plays a role.
I think this first three-week race is going to be a milestone for me and I'm very curious to see what it will be like in the race. That's why I wanted to get a bib back on quickly.
I still have a few French races with interesting profiles before I end my season. I want to finish well this first year with the AG2R CITROËN team."[/su_quote]
