Pour le tour de France 2022, l'équipe ARKEA SAMSIC portera 2 casques EKOI avec un design spécifique, l'HErmine bretonne. Vous souhaitez savoir pourquoi l'Hermine est l'emblème de la Bretagne? En 1202, la duchesse de Bretagne Alix épousa le duc Pierre de Dreux. A l'époque, seul l'ainé des enfants pouvait garder le blason familial, les autres enfants devaient 'briser les armes', c'est à dire ajouter une brisure, un signe distinctif. Pierre de Dreux avait ajouté au blason familial une brisure de moucheture d'hermine. C'est ainsi que l'hermine fit son apparition en Bretagne. L'hermine est au duc de Bretagne ce qu'est le lys au roi de France, deux symboles de pureté.

At only 20 years old, he has just won his 6th victory this season after winning this weekend. "It's unbelievable, I've won the last three races, I can't believe it," said Arnaud De Lie. "What a team performance, once again. The team was really impressive today and drove hard for me all day, so I'm really happy to reward everyone with this victory." A fall in the last kilometers made the final chaotic, but De Lie remained focused on the sprint. "The Bora-Hansgrohe train was also very strong today and in the final I was able to position myself in the wheels of Sam Bennett thanks to the previous work of my teammates. I stayed focused and approached the last corner in 3rd position. I just had to fight until the finish. I really like hill finishes like these. I like these kind of power sprints, where it's all about watts ." For De Lie, this is the 3rd victory in 8 days, following previous GP victories Marcel Kint and Heistse Pijl. "During the Circuit de Wallonie I didn't feel very good but since then the form has only improved. To be honest, I felt even better today than on Saturday in the Heistse Pijl. It's really promising for the next races", concludes Arnaud De Lie.

Who can stop him? Second victory in a row for Angevin Jason Tesson (Saint Michel-Auber 93), who won the 4th and last stage of the Ronde de l'Oise, between Compiègne and Beauvais.

Lotto Soudal rider Arnaud De Lie won the Heistse Pijl in impressive fashion. For the neo-professional De Lie, it is already his 5th victory of the season, bringing the number of victories for his team to 18. "After the GP Marcel Kint last Sunday, it's great to have the Heistse Pijl on my list. For me, every race is important and I'm always at the start with the ambition to win. I know it's not easy to win a race and that's why I'm really happy to be able to add Heistse Pijl to my list. The fact that I'm on the podium with world class sprinters like Nizzolo and Cavendish is just amazing", concludes Arnaud From Lee. C: PhotoNews

Amaury Capiot won the third stage of Boucles de la Mayenne after a massive sprint in Château-Gonthier. It thus signs its 2nd success this year and the season 11th victory for Arkéa-Samsic team. “We had a map in front with Connor in an eight-man breakaway. He slipped into that shot in order to get closer in the overall ranking. The peloton came back to its group in the last kilometer. I make the decision to launch my sprint from afar, 250 meters away so as not to be blocked. It's just amazing to win this stage ! Thursday I had good legs but I couldn't fully express myself. Today, I did my sprint, I was able to produce my effort and that was enough to win. » C:ARKEA SAMSIC

Benjamen Thomas wins the second stage of Mayenne loops after a difficult and exhausting stage. "The final climb was very hard with a very demanding last climb. It was a sprint the way I like them and I'm obviously very happy with the result. Tactically we decided to join a breakaway with Eddy (Finé) and Alexandre ( Delettre). At the foot of the last hill, I decided to anticipate and set a great pace. I started my sprint early and it worked. It's the kind of race I like because I can to show my qualities there. I wanted to have fun at the Boucles de la Mayenne. I am having fun and it is also a good thing for the team. We will now do everything necessary to defend the jersey until the end !".

In a thrilling finale, Florian Vermeersch soloed his first victory as a pro after a tactical game between the breakaway riders. "This first professional victory obviously gives me a wonderful feeling. After a disappointing spring and the bad luck I had to face, this victory is very satisfying. Last week I was also in a good position in the Tro Bro Léon but I I had some bad luck. Today I was able to finish and it's always nice to reward the team's confidence with a victory. I'm looking forward to what's next", concludes the young Lotto rider Soudal.

Hugo Hofstetter wins the TRO BRO LEON, the Paris Roubaix BretonIt revolves around the victory since the beginning of the season by chaining many TOP 10"I knew I could do it. Since the start of the season, I have always worked, I have never panicked. Today, we took matters into our own hands. When we found ourselves three in front in the final, I knew that victory could not escape us. This race is really important for the team and I managed to surpass myself while I had cramps. Yesterday we recognized the key sectors, Yvon Caër our sports director lives in Lannilis and he was even more motivated than us. We had a great team race but I can't help but be disappointed for Laurent who punctured at the worst possible time. We had a great time together, that's all that matters. ».. Frédéric Machabert / Arkéa Samsic

Thomas De Gendt adds another memorable victory to his list. In the eighth stage of the Giro, with departure and arrival in Naples, De Gendt, with his teammates Harm Vanhoucke and Sylvain Moniquet, was part of a breakaway of more than twenty riders. On a difficult circuit around Monte Procida, the early breakaway gradually thinned out and after some tactical play five riders broke away, including teammates De Gendt and Vanhoucke. The five riders never got much ahead of the first pursuers and in the last kilometers, the Van der Poel - Girmay duo almost came back. It was finally Vanhoucke who started the sprint for De Gendt to finish the job. This is his second stage victory in the Giro, ten years after his first on the legendary ascent of the Stelvio. "Today I really had a great day and with three teammates in the breakaway we were able to play a bit," said De Gendt afterwards. "We played perfectly. Due to illness and bad luck, I haven't been able to achieve the performances I wanted in recent years and that's why this win feels maybe even more special than the one on the Stelvio." "I even doubted that I would come to the start of this Giro in good shape. But this victory proves that I am back. This stage reminded me of Barcelona's stage during the Volta a Catalunya. The succession of climbs where it's hard to recover suits me well, so I rode at a tight pace the whole time to really give no one a break." "I know I'm fast after a stage like this, I still felt strong and I bet on the sprint. Harm played the team game perfectly in the last kilometers with Van der Poel and Girmay who were really getting closer. Three hundred meters from the finish, I gave it my all and that...

After winning the third stage, Philippe Gilbert also won the general classification of the 4 Days of Dunkerque. In the final stage between Ardres and Dunkerque, his small advantage of 4 seconds was enough to win the leader's pink jersey. "After the disappointment of missing yesterday's stage (where Gilbert finished 4th but took the leader's jersey), I'm very happy with this overall victory," said 39-year-old Lotto Soudal rider. . "I was a bit stressed at the start because there was a tricky local circuit in the final, with lots of corners and a constant battle for position. This overall victory is Gilbert's second since his return to Lotto Soudal. "It makes me very happy. I had two tough years with a lot of troubles and tough times," an emotional Gilbert said. "But I want to end my career at the highest level. I have never forgotten what it takes to get there. The Classics were difficult for me, because I was never able to train as planned, at because of illness. Here, in a better time and in a shorter race, I was able to get the victory. Thanks also to the great team that is here". According to the former world champion, we can expect the great Philippe Gilbert. "First of all, I'm getting married, later in the month. But for the races after that, I'm very ambitious. I want to win a little more." C: Belga Image

The 39-year-old Belgian launched his typical acceleration on a finish adapted to the punchers and rushed towards the stage victory. Thanks to the bonus seconds, the Lotto Soudal rider moved up to second place in the general classification, at the same time as the Dutchman De Kleijn. "Everything is still to play for. Tomorrow we could have another peloton sprint, but Saturday's stage on and around Mont Cassel will be crucial. I know the climb from Gent-Wevelgem and it will obviously be a difficult day. But with six Lotto Soudal riders less than ten seconds from the general classification, we still have several cards to play", concludes Gilbert.

The Cofidis team is preparing to compete in the first Grand Tour of the season with ambition. For the first time in his career, the Normand will compete in the Giro. His solid experience of the Grand Tours (5 participations in the Tour de France, 2 in the Vuelta) will necessarily be an asset to approach these three weeks of competition. During his last 5 Grand Tours, Guillaume has always finished in the ‘top 20’. His progress is constant since he remains in two 'top 10', at the end of the last Grande Boucle (8th) and the Vuelta (9th). Returning to competition last Sunday in Liège-Bastogne-Liège, the climber completed more than three weeks of training at altitude in Sicily, in particular on the slopes of Etna, in order to adapt to Italian roads. He will do everything to join in the victory of certain stages (there will be 6 in the mountains) and aim for the general classification. Guillaume will be supported by the whole team, like Pierre-Luc Périchon, Anthony Perez, Davide Villella, Rémy Rochas, very prominent during the last Vuelta (15th), and Wesley Kreder. All these riders, exemplary teammates, will also be able to do well in order to aim for a stage victory. “The objective will be to achieve a good, even a very good result in the general classification. I hope to do better than my best performance in a Grand Tour (8th). During the three-week course in Sicily and on the slopes of Etna, I worked well, rode well. Admittedly, I only had one day of racing before the Giro (Liège-Bastogne-Liège) so it will be a bit of an unknown. But I hope to build pressure throughout the three weeks and I am very happy to discover this Grand Tour. It will be a first. I have ...

"Once again I have to say a big thank you to my teammates. I'm really impressed with how they guided me to the finish today. Their work makes me really proud and it's so good to finish it today. The wind played a big role in the last kilometers. It was a block of headwind and I absolutely didn't want to start my sprint too early so as not to be overtaken in the last meters. I really had to time my sprint to perfection and I'm happy that I was able to sustain my effort to the finish, securing my second stage win here this year. And doing it in Gallipoli, an important place in Australian history, makes this victory even more special," concluded Caleb Ewan. C:photo news

The 33-year-old Norman added the last race in his territory which was missing from his list: Paris-Camembert. In a group of five riders, he surprised everyone just over a kilometer from the finish to raise his arms alone in Livarot. Anthony Delaplace“I tend to be too generous in the effort. In the last 20 kilometres, Arnaud Gérard told me "play the mariole, don't overdo it". For once I listened to him and this good effort management is what may have helped me to win today. When Valentin Ferron came out, he dug the hole immediately then we took turns, I managed my effort. We came back to him and everyone wanted to take a breather. This is where I landed the right attack. Usually that never happens to me, there, they looked behind each other.Everything is working out for our Arkéa Samsic team this year. My role all year round is to be a team member and today I had my chance at Paris-Camembert. I really wanted to do well in this race. It was my 13th participation in Paris-Camembert. I haven't missed an edit since I became a pro. It's really a pleasure to win at home. I finished second in 2016. It was the Normandy race that I had to win. Now I have a little problem: I once said in a joking tone, if I win Paris-Camembert, I end my career. But honestly I don't want to stop! (laughs)”.
