“I am still a little sound,” says the new French champion of the time trial at the microphone of Eurosport. I had prepared this time well, like every year, but the specific little thing is that the headset planted me so I did not have the slightest instruction. I tried to listen to my body and my legs to do this in my bubble, without indications. I had no information on the differences, I just focused on my effort and it was just on arrival that I understood that I was in front ”.
