Nicolas Prodhomme
"Proud to add my name to the list of race winners".
"It was the first time I wore a distinctive jersey among the professionals. And I didn't just wear it, I won the race. It's crazy, I'm really happy. We wanted to build on the good results from Giro this Route d'Occitanie, and it turned out even better than we hoped. My teammates did a superb job all week to put me in the best possible position to go for this victory. It will take me a few more days to realize what has happened, but the French championships are coming up very soon and I'm going to stay focused on that goal."
