Guillaume Martin wins the Tour de l'Ain

with Ekoï Gara helmet and Ekoï Premium 70 glasses

At the start of this 2nd stage of the 34th edition of the Tour de l'Ain, 142.5 km were on the program. 4 difficulties were listed including 2 passage up the Col de Portes and a finish after a final descent to Lagnieu. The Cofidis team had already worked the day before during the sprint to protect Guillaume Martin, allowing him to arrive in the peloton and thus not lose time on the favorites. A revenge on bad luck It was a small breakaway that formed early in the stage. It was quickly controlled so that the favorites could play for victory and the overall classification. At the briefing, the plan was precise : Start riding and displaying their ambitions on the 3rd climb of the day, the Côte de Seillonnaz to put Guillaume Martin in orbit. Around him, Ruben Fernandez, François Bidard and then Rémy Rochas (victim of a fall without gravity during the 1st stage) did not count their efforts to support their leader. In the last kilometer, Guillaume Martin produced his effort in turn. His acceleration is decisive: the Norman can raise his arms, finally, as an illustration of the collective strength of the team. Everyone knows that the taste of victory is rare in cycling, making victory even more beautiful. Guillaume Martin had not won since the Mercan'Tour Classic last year, and now has 8 professional successes to his credit. This moment of joy is also a revenge on bad luck, a few weeks after his hasty departure from the Tour de France due to a positive test for Covid-19. Now, the team will work hard, again, to defend its leader's jersey and give Cofidis another stage race victory this season. They said Guillaume Martin: "I'm obviously very happy to have been able to...

The COFIDIS team rider is currently leading the mountain classification. "The day had started badly. It was hard to lose this morning Guillaume, our leader. He wanted to take the start and unfortunately, it was not possible.

New Helmets for ARKEA SAMSIC team

Helmet EKOI AR14 & EKOI GARA

For the 2022 Tour de France, the ARKEA SAMSIC team will wear 2 EKOI helmets with a specific design, the Breton Ermine. Would you like to know why the Ermine is the emblem of Brittany? In 1202, the Duchess of Brittany Alix married the Duke Pierre de Dreux. At the time, only the eldest of the children could keep the family crest, the other children had to 'break the arms', ie add a break, a distinctive sign. Pierre de Dreux had added a break of ermine flecks to the family coat of arms. This is how the ermine made its appearance in Brittany. The ermine is to the Duke of Brittany what the lily is to the King of France, two symbols of purity.

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.

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.

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

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.

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. »..

A stage on the GIRO for Thomas De Gendt

with EKOÏ AR14 helmet and EKOÏ TWENTY glasses

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.

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.
