Ewen Costiou retains yellow jersey ahead of final stage

“I’m keeping the jersey for a second, and it’s good to keep it. I enjoyed it throughout the stage, and it was nothing but happiness. Friday, on the final stage of the Région Pays de la Loire Tour, it won’t be at all the same scenario as today, given the profile of the stage. It’ll be the legs that do the talking. Gazonfier is really the queen stage of this competition, and it’s going to come down to freshness. My ARKEA-B&B HOTELS team-mates really protected and accompanied me today. I’d like to thank them.
