Benoît Cosnefroy
« I hope to remain at the top of the overall standings. »
«I'm very happy with how this prologue went, with my first victory in a time trial, which is great. For the rest of the week, there are stages that will probably end in a sprint, and we'll have some strong contenders with Pierre (Gautherat) and Dorian (Godon). Saturday's stage is expected to be difficult, but I think I can do well on this stage and continue my momentum. I hope to stay at the top of the general classification, which will be decided by bonus points, and in that game, the sprinters have an advantage.»
