Arnaud Démare in the top 5 in Palma de Mallorca
In the final race of the Challenge Mallorca, Arnaud Démare took 5th place in the Trofeo Palma, which ended in a sprint.
“It was quite rough, there was still a lot of freshness within the peloton which explains this nervousness in the final. We had to have the right timing, we still had a little difficulty staying together, but we managed to extract ourselves. I got a little “ruffled” at 400-300 meters, but the main thing is that I was able to express myself today. That’s good, because it’s only the second sprint of the season. The automations are put in place. We have worked well here with a view to the next deadlines.”
“Everything isn’t perfect yet, but we’ve got the right automatisms in place, and there are still things to refine. We can feel that things are coming together for him. I’d also like to highlight the solidarity within the team, as well as Vincenzo and Raúl, who have made interesting debuts.”
