Benoit Cosnefroy: “The longest kilometer of my life”
“I really wanted to treat myself today. For the past two weeks, I’ve felt that I was in good shape. I attacked from a long way out, which wasn’t necessarily the plan at the start, and it was far from a sure thing. Sometimes you have to take a chance, and this time it paid off! This isn't my first victory as a professional. I already won the Grand Prix d'Isbergues in 2017, but today feels even better. I'm in my home region, and I heard my name being chanted all day long from the roadside. Most of my family was there, and I'm really happy to have been able to get the job done. In the final, I managed to catch up with Kevin Geniets two kilometers from the finish. I know him well, we raced together at Chambéry Cyclisme Formation. I attacked with one kilometer to go, and I think it was the longest kilometer of my life. But it was worth it!"[/su_quote]

Quentin Jauregui: “We couldn't let this opportunity slip away.”
“After Alexis Gougeard’s victory at the Circuit de la Sarthe, we had another great day. In the final, I told Benoît that we couldn’t let this one slip away. We had a lot of fun and it’s very nice to be on the podium alongside him.”[/su_quote]
