Our team, which has existed since 1998, has been able to adapt to the various constraints that were imposed and we have been able to cope. During this particular season, I retain the unfailing support of our partners, but also an incredible job of all our staff and a great professionalism of our drivers. I also remember our 2 team victories during the stages of the World Cup of Nove Mesto. For 4 years, we waited for this moment.And the 2 victories came to reward the work and the cohesion of our group. Today, after 2 victories for Victor Koretzky in Turkey, the season is officially over. And I am proud to see our KMC - ORBEA team finish the season in world number one! As in 2016, we end the year at the top of this ranking, proof of consistency throughout a year punctuated by thirteen UCI victories. Once again, I can only thank everyone, partners in the first place with KMC Chain Europe and Orbea, but also our other sponsors and suppliers who allow us to benefit from the best bike on the circuit.

Nairo Quintana won an eighth success for the Arkéa-Samsic Team at the top of the Col de la Colmiane. This is the first Wolrd-Tour success for our team. Nairo Quintana, 1st at the top of Col de la Colmiane “I wanted to win with style, by showing an offensive attitude, here at the top of Colmiane, the end of this 2020 edition of Paris-Nice. I was motivated, I worked hard, my teammates from the Arkéa-Samsic team did the same by riding behind the breakaway, I had to finish the job. My fall from the third day is how it is sport. I fell hard that day, there was nothing more I could do with this wind. It is clear that after that my chances of winning the general classification in Paris-Nice were lower. But we kept the morale of the Arkéa-Samsic team and me in order to continue doing things well and this victory is a gift for everyone. The reward for all our work ”.

This victory in the general classification of the Tour des Alpes-Maritimes et du Var is another success for the Arkéa-Samsic team, for our partners who support us. It’s another big win for us as well. This is also important for the further support the spectators give to our team, and the beginning of the story we are writing with them. The Arkéa-Samsic team worked very well in my favor today from the start to the end of the race, and this great investment on the part of everyone reflects the victory obtained, which belongs to all my teammates. We are going to take advantage of these moments which are good for us, we have to do it because sport is not always like that. This victory is in any case a great moment for all the people who make up this great Arkéa-Samsic team ”

Ich bin froh, eine Etappe und die Gesamtwertung dieser Tour de la Provence 2020 gewonnen zu haben. Meine ersten beiden Saisonsiege hier in Frankreich sind in gewisser Weise Geschenke für alle Radsportfans und alle französischen Fans die mir folgen und die das Arkéa-Samsic-Team unterstützen. Es gibt mir Kraft, dass Ermutigung mir hilft, noch mehr zu sublimieren. Ich bin heute Abend glücklich, es ist ein guter Saisonstart für mich, aber auch für mein Team, das auf diesen vier Etappen der Tour de la Provence großen Zusammenhalt gezeigt hat. Wir alle haben eine großartige Woche mit diesem großartigen Sieg für Nacer, der am ersten Tag im Sprint errungen wurde und das Arkéa-Samsic-Team sofort auf den richtigen Weg für diesen Wettbewerb gebracht hat.

I was still three meters away and had to put in some effort before the sprint. I take the wheel of Nizzolo at that point, and in the last corner I make the ultimate effort to win this first stage of the Tour de la Provence. I feel confident, the Arkéa_Sazmsic team, the staff, my teammates show me such a feeling, and that motivates me. My goal is to bring as many victories as possible to the Arkéa-Samsic team. I left the Saudi Tour slightly frustrated, but winning here, my first success in France, in 2020, on the roads of the Tour de la Provence, almost at home since I live in the region, that makes me really happy "
