Cofidis team sprinter Bryan Coquard took 4th place in the fourth stage of the Tour de France at the Nogaro circuit. The rider thinks he can achieve better results in the next stages of the Tour. “It wasn’t really an ideal sprint for me. Despite everything, we worked well (…). It’s obviously a good omen for the future. We said to ourselves that we had to go there if we had the opening, you had to go there to not regret anything (…) On a slightly more complicated finish and a little later on the Tour de France, I think I can be a little fresher than the other sprinters .”
21:56 – The chaotic end of the stage is debated
For Patrick Lefevere, manager of the Soudal-Quick Step training, “with so many runners taking risks, there are always falls. It’s inevitable with so many sprinters”, he explained after the end of the stage marked by cascading crashes. A risk which is also underlined by the sports director of the Belgian formation Tom Steels. “The biggest problem was that it was a very calm stage. It didn’t go very fast, so there are too many fresh men in the final.”
