Benoît Cosnefroy: "Happy with this second place".
"We decided to go on the offensive at the start of the race, and I found myself at the front with eleven riders, including Dorian Godon. The race was a tug-of-war with the peloton throughout the day. In the final, there were three of us, but I lacked the energy to win. It was a positive day, I was in a position to win, and the other riders the AG2R CITROËN team worked perfectly to enable this breakaway to fight for the victory.
I also remember the popular fervor and the encouragement along the course. The Polynormande is the closest race to my parents, I like to run here."[/su_quote].
