The Vikings have returned to Brittany.

The team has always believed in me. From the beginning when I was still young and also during more difficult times. That's why I'm glad to continue riding for them.

In fact I didn't suffer to much.

It was my greatest win of the season, especially when you consider the conditions.

But the most important part for me will come before the final, ... If I have bad luck, if I have a flat at a bad time, there won't be anybody to help me get back to the leaders, to let me save some strength.
