    With helmet EKOÏ AR14 & EKOÏ E-LENS glasses

    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

    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...

But with six Lotto Soudal riders less than ten seconds from the general classification, we still have several cards to play", concludes Gilbert.

    Guillaume Martin at his first GIRO

    With EKOI helmet and glasses

    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 ...

    with EKOÏ AR14 helmet and EKOÏ PREMIUM glasses

    On the sixth day of the Tour of Turkey, the puncheurs had their chance to shine. At the end of a 200 kilometer long stage, a short but delicate final climb awaited the riders on the Gallipoli peninsula.

"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)”.

I didn't turn into the position I wanted in the final stretch but I managed to sprint at the end. The team did a great job. After the penultimate passage of the climb, it attacked on the last lap. I stayed in the peloton to save myself and my teammates did a great job to come back.This morning when I woke up I thought we weren't going to leave because there was a lot of snow. With our clothes that we have now, we were not too cold, we were well covered. I discovered myself at the last moment, 15 kilometers from the finish. I took off my jacket, my leggings and that's it for the last climb.I don't win a lot and there I already win twice this year after my victory over Tirreno-Adriatico.

With Philippe Gilbert, we also had a good road captain who knew the roads by heart." "The four climbs of the Gulperberg were a crucial part of the race today. Maybe we couldn't win the race there but certainly lose it. In the final we were still well positioned with me, Andreas and Philippe.

We were outnumbered at the start compared to the other teams, Cofidis drove, then we put Kévin Ledanois to drive after 100 kilometers. This race was complicated with the series of bumps in the final, but the most important thing for me was that I arrived at the sprint, even if I was not taken. It was necessary to padlock the cobbled parts until the arrival on the final circuit. Kévin Vauquelin, who took a last big stint to come back to the breakaway, was very important, as was Alan Riou. Laurent Pichon and Kévin Vauquelin did a great job on the last lap, I would like to say a big thank you to the whole team”. C:LNC-BRUNO BADE
