The Tour of the Alpes-Maritimes and Haut Var
“I have already raced several times in the Tour des Alpes Maritimes and Haut-Var and I have good memories of it. The best was last year, with a very good victory both overall and at the top of the Col d’dze. I will return to this test in 2021, but the truth is that I do not have the same conditions as last year, but my motivation is still strong ”.

Your ambitions
“As soon as I got the green light after my knee operation, I started training again. I think I will be in good condition mid-season, and my ambitions at that time will be to try to win the week-long stage races that we will run with the Arkéa-Samsic team.”

Your knee injuries
“I have recovered well, for two weeks I trained with more intensity and with a little normality. The healing time of my operation on both knees is over, my rehabilitation is complete and I am beginning to be in good condition.”
