Warren Barguil
"This Tour du Limousin-Périgord-Nouvelle Aquitaine 2021 has been tough every day, and the heat today has made it even more difficult.
Dorian said he was sick last night, and on such a stage it is difficult to hide.
I had good work from the whole team, everyone protected me.
I still believe in it right down to the line, I didn't want to disappoint my teammates who gave all for me.
I worked well after the Tour, and this victory is a reward for my investment.
I am also moved because this is the first time in the professional ranks that I have won in front of my parents, and my child. I am very motivated for the rest of the season.
I am also happy to win my very first stage race with the pros, I had barely failed a few years ago in Norway, and this time I won after having fought a great battle with Franck Bonnamour at the end of this stage".
