Team Europcar dominated today's stage of the Tour de France as the team took a lot of responsibility in the chase of the early break to set up Bryan Coquard for the sprint. In the end, the Frenchman could only manage 7th and he left the stage with a feeling of disappointment.
Europcar had high ambitions for Bryan Coquard in this stage but the young Frenchman had to be content with 7th on the finish line.
"It's a little disappointing," he said. "We had a strategy, but it didn't work out. I was a little short. As we didn't manage to have someone in the break we decided to attack in the finale with Perrig (Quemeneur) and Cyril (Gautier) and I don't know when Cyril was caught but the Giant Shimano then raised the tempo and it was very difficult to get organised. I'm a little bit weary, especially because of the heat. Now I'm going to save energy for the Nimes stage."
