"It's a great reward to win the Coupe de France overall. These are races I enjoy, with final circuits where the public always responds and a special atmosphere. After coming so close in 2019 and 2020 (twice second), I'm delighted to win it. We had a great year in the French Cup, with Paul (Lapeira) coming second. Not forgetting the team victory, I'm obviously very happy on a personal level with this season, and this ranking comes as a reward for the whole team."
