Raúl García Pierna 10th at Larmont

“We had two cards this Sunday with Louis Barré and Raúl García Pierna. It was important for both of them to be at the front before the final 6 km climb. The ARKEA-B&B HOTELS team maneuvered well to put them in the best possible position. They attacked very quickly. Raúl initiated one of the first moves. He was caught but stayed in contact. In the final, he was just short of the podium. He arrived with a group in the sprint for 4th place. I’d like to highlight the collective effort and the willingness of everyone to go on the offensive.
