This victory marks Dainese's breakthrough in France after two consecutive days finishing in 5th place. It stands as his first triumph of the season.
Looking back on his win, Dainese expressed his happiness, saying: “The final lap was quite intense. The first time we came into the circuit we said: 'wow, it’s gonna be hectic.'"
“Given the fact this was the last race before the World Cup season, this final rehearsal was very important to me. It was a tactical race on a great course. It was difficult to make differences, but I played my cards well in the final,” Sarrou said after his victory.
The Italian cyclist of Team BMC grew up on the slopes of the race course, gaining his experiences as a kid with a local club called Velo Club Monte Tamaro in 2016 and 2017. "And always on BMC bikes," Zanotti says, pointing at a photo from back in the days.
