Lilian Jegou – “I don't regret having tried...”

“It was a stage in which you could hope for a victory. Of course there was also the added bonus of taking a serious coup of taking the yellow jersey. Over the final 50 kilometers, which are near my hometown of Vannes, I was riding on the roads that I know by heart; it’s where I go training all the time. Alas, it was not enough. I’ll still cherish the memory of the day because of the encouragement we received. Anyway, I don’t regret having tried my luck. I’m aware that there’ll be other steps to take in my career.”
