Emmanuel Houcou

I'm feeling good physically and my sensations are good, but since the start of the Tour of Brittany we've been struggling to find an opening. The breakaway went all the way and I won the bunch sprint, which left me with a few regrets. I'd like to highlight the involvement of the ARKEA-B&B HOTELS team and my team-mates, who took on their responsibilities. We had a great team race, but we lacked some manpower in the final stages. We're on a good run, so let's carry on like this and keep our goal in mind by being attacking and responding.

There wasn't much missing for Emmanuel Houcou to win, but the breakaway was the strongest. There's a touch of disappointment, of course. The ARKEA-B&B HOTELS riders did a good job. There are still two days to go, so let's keep believing. Let's keep the momentum going.
