Clément Champoussin: «Disappointed with this second place»
«I immediately saw that Nico Denz had beaten me to the finish line in the sprint for victory. Unfortunately, I was just a little bit short of winning, which is a shame because I had a good sprint.
I picked up speed during that final climb with my current physical condition; it was the best option for me to go for the win.
I'm still lacking a bit of rhythm, as I only returned to competition on 31 May at the Mercan'Tour Classic Alpes-Maritimes, after my crash during the Tour of the Alps.
