Romain Bardet: “I'm not a wind-up merchant” 1

“I've never raced on a defensive attitude. Especially after having finished second at the Tour last year, I'll allow myself to take even more risks even if I may pay for it later on. Success should flow from attacking. However, risk taking must be calculated. I know I'll have to be patient since I built my place on the podium in the last days of racing last year. But I'm not a wind-up merchant. I'm not promising any result. You can just trust me for fighting until we reach Paris.”
