Dorian Godon: “I surprised myself”
“We knew it was going to be a tough day and that it would be difficult to break away. And that's what happened. It wasn't necessarily the plan for me to be there, and I was a little surprised. I think I must have been the heaviest in the group! On the last climb, I tried to be smart, but the two riders front were stronger, so I don't have too many regrets. This is my first Grand Tour, I'm learning something new every day, and today I surprised myself. I didn't think I was capable of that. From the start, Pierre (Latour) has shown that he's among the best, and when you have days like this, your motivation is even stronger."[/su_quote]

Tony Gallopin took second place in the fourth stage of Tour Poitou-Charentes Nouvelle Aquitaine, a 23 km time trial. He is also second overall, 33 seconds behind, ahead of the final stage: "There were no surprises in the time trial. The strongest rider won, and I'm a little disappointed because I wanted to reward the team's hard work since the start." Alexis Gougeard finished ninth in the time trial.
