In the second stage of Tour du Limousin, French cyclist Clément Venturini secured a third-place finish.

It’s been a long time since I’ve lifted my arms, and I’m desperate to win tomorrow.”
Venturini commended his team’s maneuvering tactics and emphasized the importance of precise placement during the race. Reflecting on his performance, Venturini noted, “I really battled right to the end, without letting up, and if it hadn’t been for a rider who slowed me down a bit, there might have been a way to do better.”
