Benoît Cosnefroy: «Happy to have regained my strength»
«Today's stage went very well, with Ben O'Connor putting in a great performance in the breakaway, which made life difficult for the peloton. It could have worked, as he was only caught 400 metres from the finish line. We had to sprint for Andrea Vendrame, but he wasn't feeling great, so I was able to play my card. I couldn't find an opening to aim for anything better than the podium. It's a shame, but I'm happy to have found my legs again after two difficult days following the European Championships.»[/su_quote]
