Arnaud De Lie’s month of May promises to be intense in terms of results. The Taurus of Lescheret, true to himself, wants to go for it. Towards victory. He was very close to winning two in a row, this Saturday and Sunday. After having won, in force, in the coast of Cadoudal, the Grand Prix of Morbihan, he failed by nothing, this Sunday, on the Tro Bro Leon. Either the Breton Paris-Roubaix, which takes place on paths, the ribins, which the Walloon adores.
Very attentive and very strong, he was in all the right moves in the final. Boosting the pace himself to stretch and break the leading group, reacting to several offensives following being well surrounded by Brent Van Moer and Florian Vermeersch. Before having to tear himself away to switch to the front in one of the last difficult sectors, in which he had been countered by Eddy Finné. He joined the French, like the Norwegian champion Rasmus Tiller, Nils Eekhoff and Clément Venturini. A quintet that Giacomo Nizzolo was able to resume at the very end of the race, when the leader of Lotto-Dstny was forced to react to numerous offensives.
“I will come back to the Tro Bro Leon to win it”
“It’s a shame not to have imposed on meblew Arnaud De Lie, before getting on the podium. If I start my sprint a little later, I think I might have won. Fifty meters from the line, I saw myself imposing myself. When I saw Nizzolo come back up, it was really in the mind. But the mind was not enough unfortunately: I missed ten centimeters. I’m really sorry for my teammates, who had a great race. We rode well as a team. I have to settle for second place following being fourth in this race last year. I’ll be back to win!”
His appetite for success remains huge. After clinching his fourth victory of the season on Saturday at the Grand Prix du Morbihan (in addition to the Grand Prix de Valence and two stages from the Etoile de Bessèges), he has his sights set on the Four Days of Dunkirk , where he will be keen to win, a year following having fallen heavily on the opening stage. “Saturday’s victory did me good, because I had come close to success several times in recent weeks.he explains. I am very happy with this success in Brittany, a region in which I like racing; its roads and bumps suit me. It’s special to win here, at Plumelec, where I saw Peter Sagan become European champion in 2016…”
