Aurélien Paret-Peintre
"We were so close to victory
"It was a great race. There was a lot of pace and adversity on the final climb. Clément (Berthet) rode very well in the breakaway and the team placed me well on the final climb. After that, I knew I was one of the fastest in the sprint and Jordan (Labrosse) did a superb job in the final to allow me to contest it, but I didn't manage to get going at the right time and finished in second place. Victory was very close and it's only my first race of the season, so it's encouraging."
