Clément Venturini: "I really want to win
"I'm not far off. But it's still too far. The team maneuvered well beforehand and I then tried to be precise in my positioning. I really fought until the end, without giving up, and without a rider a little, there might have been a way to do better. I worked very hard in July and it's to get results. It's been a long time since I've raised my arms in victory, and I'm desperate to win. Tomorrow's stage is tough, and I feel like I'm in good shape. We have a really great team, and I hope we'll achieve some great things. For me, every race between now and the end of the season is important because I want to win so badly."
