Tour des Alpes Maritimes – Paul Lapeira: “Happy to be back on top”
“I’m really happy to have taken this victory today. I had great legs and felt good on the climb to Gourdon; I knew I could win. Aurélien and Antoine put me in the perfect position to catch up with the riders at the front. In the finale, I told myself I had to attack right from the bottom. I took risks and gave everything to chase down our rivals, but it was worth it. It was a very intense race all day long, and that makes this result even more rewarding.”
