Clément Venturini: «I really want to win.»
«I'm not far off. But it's still too far away. The team manoeuvred 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 slowing me down 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 can achieve great things. For me, between now and the end of the season, every race is important because I want to win so badly.»[/su_quote]
