Dorian Godon: «The most important thing was the victory.»
«It's a great achievement. The most important thing was the victory, and what's more, we broke away from most of the favourites for the overall classification. I spared no effort to go for the bonus points during the stage because every second counts in the Tour du Limousin. I then slowed down on the hills and we have a great team that managed the race well in the final. I was quite successful in catching up with this group of six riders. I caught up with everyone in the last kilometre and then gave it everything I had in the sprint. I've gained confidence this year. The Tour de France did me good and after a little rest I'm feeling really good again.»[/su_quote]

Vuelta a Espana: Damien Touzé finishes 11th in the stage
Damien Touzé took eleventh place in the sprint of the fifth stage of the Vuelta a España. «It was a tense day with wind and the risk of echelons. We were caught up in a big crash at the end and I had to work hard to get back to the front. The sprint was fast and complicated. I now hope to finish in the top 10,» said Damien Touzé.
Due to the fall that delayed leader Rein Taramae, Lilian Calmejane moved up to third place in the overall standings.
