    TDF 2020/ Stage 11 : Clément Venturini ranks 5th
    Published on 2020-09-10 09:26:14

    CLÉMENT VENTURINI: "I play with the best"
    “I am both happy and a little disappointed. In the very last few meters I lost Van Aert's aspiration and I saw the podium slip away. On the other hand, I checked this stage for sprinters with a harder finish than the others and I'm playing ahead, with the best. This is what I will take away. I hope that on a more difficult stage, I will have my say.

    I'm thinking in particular of Saturday's stage with a succession of two bumps at the end.

    In addition, I will arrive at home, in Lyon: it is necessarily something ... Every day on this Tour is a lesson to be learned. Finding your place is not easy.

    THE NUMBER
    Benoit Cosnefroy has been wearing the polka-dot jersey for the best climber of the Tour de France for 9 days.

    After the 11th stage, he still has 36 points. "It was a perfect day for the team, without a hitch," he explained at the finish. It’s always a great pleasure to wear this jersey and stand on the Tour de France podium. "Note that our team ranked 2nd in the team standings. it ranks 4th place in overall classification.

You should know that Vic Swerts, founder and owner of Soudal, is celebrating his 81st birthday today and I wanted to give him this gift. This time suited me very well. I developed an average power greater than planned and I was finally able to clinch the final victory. The fact of having recognized the course before th...

I knew that to perform, I had to be well placed at the top of thebump. I expected someone to attack and I would have to manage my effort and get under the pedal. I did it and I'm also happy to have grabbed a few bonus seconds for the overall. Tomorrow is a sprint that I have already won but the field is higher. We will also try to take bonuses in view of Sunday's stopwatch. I am very proud to have started the season well for the team and to give confidence to my teammates and all the staff. We will do everything to continue our momentum! " Nacer BOUHANNI "I recognized the final of this first stage yesterday.

Thomas Boudat "A great collective force" "I thought I had done the hard part by throwing my bike on the line, but Aurélien Paret-Peinte played well with the wind and the suction phenomenon in the wheels, he knocked everyone out in the final.This weather element played an important role during the race, and I told Amaury, moreover, not to launch too early. He put me down perfectly. Beyond my second place, you have to remember the great collective strength on the part of the team. We were united, we ran for each other. I was a little bit hungry compared to last season, which did not live up to my expectations, also because of the situation. Team Arkéa-Samsic trusted me, and I wanted to give it back.

It's one thing to check off the stages that are in your favor, but it's another to hit the right breakaway and have the legs to finish the job. Today everything went according to plans ".

The start was very difficult, we drove at full speed for two hours. I finally had the chance to find myself in the front group. The collaboration was not easy because we had with us two riders well classified overall. There were three of us then and the relationship was much better. We were all at the same level but I was finally able to make the difference on the big percentages just before the finish." Tim Wellens, winner of several stage races, already has two Giro stages to his name, but this is his first victory in the Vuelta.

The whole team protected me well and I only had one hundred and twenty-five meters to go alone! The victory is really as much for the team as it is for me. This year was a bit special as it was the first season since my professional debut that I had not won a race. I don't want to dissociate anyone from this success, Romain Le Roux and Alan Riou rode for me during the stage, Matis did the same in the final. Bram also protected me well on the edge of the finish line, and Christophe did the last 500 meters in an incredible way.

I've been feeling good for a few weeks now, but whether it was the Tour du Poitou-Charentes or the Isbergues Grand Prix, the courses were not selective enough to make the decision & avoid a massive sprint. Today it was a good crank game that started fifty kilometers from the finish to reach the breakaway. Ten kilometers from the finish on the last difficulty, we managed to isolate ourselves together. And I never cared about the peloton. This victory is good for morale before discovering the Flèche Wallonne (September 30) and Liège-Bastogne-Liège (October 4). "

Nacer Bouhanni “Everyone has done a good job on the team, Kevin is attacking in the last bump to try to get back on the breakaways, and he unfortunately finds himself in a potato hunt. To make matters worse Romain Hardy got a flat tire in the final which took away one more rider to ride. Kévin was caught 3 kilometers from the line, Anthony did his maximum in the group to which we belonged to achieve the junction with the escape. When we hit Kevin, there are still two riders ahead of us, and I win the peloton's sprint. We died just 8 seconds from the first two.

Kevin tried to make the jump for him in the last bump. Romain Hardy's puncture cost us a lot, since it occurred 10 kilometers from the finish. We need 8 seconds to get to the sprint, and if the team has Romain we could do it. Nacer finished 3rd, won the peloton's sprint and became leader of the French Cup 2020.

This victory therefore gives me great pleasure. It was really a great team performance today. My teammates took matters into their own hands from the start. They hardened the race and they neutralized a lot of attacks. After all this work, I had to conclude. " “I wasn't afraid to attack soon enough. In the end, it paid off. I was able to make the race more difficult for Jolien and that had an impact on her in the sprint. At one point the peloton was very close and I tried to surprise them by attacking in the Tiegemberg. She didn't really like it, but we were able to keep up the pace. " “When Shari joined us in the last few kilometers, I quickly felt she was going to be satisfied with third place. I started my sprint 200 meters from the finish line. I panicked a bit as I shifted gears, but luckily that didn't cause too much of a problem. Jolien was right next to me and I knew I had to go all out until the end. " “I raised my arms because I felt I had won. When Jolien did the same, I started to have doubts.

I just had to finish the job. " "I'm happy to win this event for the Arkéa-Samsic team, but also for Florian Vachon who was competing in the last race of his professional career today. I told him while laughing last night, "like tomorrow, it's your last competition, you'll keep your bibs!" "He told me then" only if you win! I told him then, "I'll try to win for you." I also gave Florian my cup and the bouquet. It’s good to end up like this. It gives us all a boost. I am happy to offer him the end of his career with this success ”. “After the Brussels Classic, it was complicated. I had pain all over, especially in the neck. Once the aches were gone, I did a big week of training. The recovery in Italy did me good: the Gi ro della Toscana & the Coppa Sabatini. The average was high on these two events. The second day, it was a puncher's arrival. It allowed me to get back into it, because I did not run for a while between Brussels and these two events, now I will continue with Paris-Camembert & Paris-Chauny ".

I am very happy with this victory.It's so nice to be able to finish the work for the team and the fact that this is my first win for Lotto Soudal makes this success even more special. “It's now been 19 days since I fell on the Tour's opening stage. This victory shows that my condition was really good at the start of the 'Grande Boucle'. My knee is getting better & better, I don't feel pain anymore. " “The next few days will still offer some great opportunities for the team, but more for me. So I will ride in the service of Tim, Tosh & Phil. Tim is feeling better and can aim for the overall standings" “I'm also part of the selection for the world championships next week. It might come as a surprise to some, but today's success proves I'm in good shape. Imola’s journey doesn’t really suit me, so my role will be to help the team. "

I was left behind from the front group but finally made it back and felt I had a good chance of winning. I was second out of the last corner & gave it my all on the paving stones. I do not yet realize what is happening to me, it is wonderful. " “I'm aiming for victory in the Belgian championship, but I'm not going to focus on the result. The Belgian championship is always a special race. You can imagine all the possible scenarios, the course will always be different.
