Amaury Capiot 4th in Le Touquet

“We tried a few things on this first stage of the 4 Jours de Dunkerque, because we want to play an active role in this race. Arnaud fell in the final of this first stage, and obviously there’s some disappointment because it was his comeback, and he wasn’t able to express himself. But that’s part and parcel of the race. Amaury finished 4th on this stage. It’s a small patch of blue sky compared to Arnaud’s crash. We’ll hang on to that, and tomorrow will be another day. These 4 Jours de Dunkerque are interesting in terms of the race profile, and there are still five great stages to go. The race is wide open, and nothing is written yet.
