According to you the Tour de France is…
“A special moment in my career especially after my stage victory in 2013 and the yellow jersey I wore during the following days. It was my first participation and it was an intense memory. Now that I know the taste of victory on the Tour, I really would like to win again.”
Romain Bardet (Fra)
4 stage victories including one on stage 18 of the Tour de France 2015
According to you the Tour de France is…
“The peak of the season and sometimes it could be the peak of a career as well. The Tour is the only one race in the world which has a sports and a cultural prestige. The Tour de France is a true emotional rollercoaster beyond compare. The proof of it is my previous Tour where I knew as well a failure as a stage victory in Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne. I cannot wait to start a new adventure.”
Mikäel Cherel (Fra)

“I have been dreaming for a long time to start the Tour de France from my native lands. In the past the Tour brought me great emotions and I truly hope this new edition will bring me the same kind of feelings. I wish my experience could benefit our roster and I would like to assist Romain in the mountain stages."
