"This is my second professional French time trial title, and it's a real pleasure to be able to wear this beautiful jersey again. I've often lost out for a few seconds and, for once, it's in my favor. This victory also proves my current form after my good time at the Critérium du Dauphiné. For the future, I hope it will prove that I can achieve good results in major competitions. I may have started off a bit strong, but my legs were going well at the beginning, so I didn't want to slow down, because I knew that the finish would be tough for everyone and that it would come down to my head. It's great to have a team around me that trusts me and gives me the means to perform in time trials."
