On the line
Lea Curinier
“First experience for the team on the Giro Donne: we learned… a lot even! the level was impressive especially since we are a few days before the Tokyo Olympics road race, and therefore the best come to finish their preparations on the Giro.
But it was a great experience for me and for the entire Arkéa Pro Cyling Team, I think. We all had a great time together, every day we motivated each other, it was really encouraging. Our goal was to finish this race at 6 and we did it! I think these 10 days of racing will make us grow and progress for the future, it was a great experience.
We can all be proud of ourselves. A big thank you to the whole team, to the staff who took great care to put us in the best conditions”.
The debrief
Franck Renimel (Sports-director)
“This last stage started very quickly as announced, and I said so at the briefing. We had to get rid of ourselves if we wanted to race or come back on time. Léa sprinted the elements that were left of the peloton and finished 24th. We finished fully, it’s a great satisfaction on the most demanding race on the women’s calendar!”
