Dorian Godon wins the Tour Doubs

[su_quote cite=Dorian Godon]

Dorian Godon " A huge work of the team ".

"It's the kind of day when it feels easy because the team does such a tremendous job. I was supported and protected all day long. Nans Peters rode at the front for 90 km, I was led into the sprint like rarely before by the whole team, and I just had to finish the job. Everything happened naturally, without us having to say anything to each other. We deserved to share the Comté cheese I won. Three victories this season, my first Tour France. It's been a great year and I want to keep up the momentum. I'm going to take a few days off because I feel that some days are harder than others, and I'm going to prepare for the Grand Prix de Wallonie (September 15), where we'll have another great team."[/su_quote]
