Back on the stage 11th Clermont-Ferrand > MoulinsMathis Louvel in the breakaway of the day, Coquard 4th, Mozzato 7th.New breakaway at kilometer 0. This consists of a trio in which we find Mathis Louvel for Arkéa-Samsic, accompanied by Daniel Oss and Andrey Amador. The fugitives widen the gap, which will reach 3 minutes and 20 seconds. At km 109, Philipsen and Coquard are fighting for fourth place in the intermediate sprint. The Belgian is the strongest. At 53 kilometers from the finish, Mathis rejoins the peloton after more than 120 terminals passed at the front. The victory is then decided in the sprint: fifth sprint and fifth TOP10 for Bryan Coquard (Cofidis) who takes a good 4th place. He declared, lucid: “Given the positioning I had per kilometer, 4th is well paid!” Note the 7th place of the Italian rider Luca Mozzato (Arkéa-Samsic), author a few days ago of a top 4 in Bordeaux (stage 7). © photo credit SirottShow me more -
Matîs Louvel wins the Vuelta a Castilla y LeonWith Ekoï Gara Helmets and Ekoï TextileMatîs Louvel wins the Vuelta a Castilla y Leon. He signs his first victory in the professionals! Matîs Louvel "It was a great day. I had the legs and the luck I needed! I managed to get into the breakaway with Bram Welten after trying several times from the beginning of the race. Little by little the group became smaller as we approached the finish. At 20 kilometers from the finish line, we were three riders at the front with a 1 minute lead on the peloton and the two riders with me crashed. I found myself alone at the front and I said to myself: "Well now, the destiny is in your hands, you must not crack" Arnaud Gérard motivated me very well. He said to me: "Come on, this is your day, you're going to get your first professional victory" He gave me the race information, I really trusted him, I never had to turn around to see where my competitors were. I knew that in order to win, I had no choice but to go all out! It's never happened to me to finish a race alone. I've always been fooled before. In the last kilometer I couldn't believe it, I didn't feel like it was me or that it was real. I was thinking "it's not possible, there must be runners ahead of me (laughs)". I'm really happy. It's my first professional win. It shows my progress, it shows that I have the ability to win and it gives me confidence. It's probably my main fault to not have confidence in myself. Here I am taking it to the maximum! It was a great day, I'm super happy!"Show me more
