CLEMENT VENTURINI: "A great battle
It was quite a race, unlike last year there were a lot of twists and turns. I knew Joshua (Dubau) was going to be a tough customer and he showed that today. When he came back, I didn't lose sight of the fact that I was there to win and I changed my race tactics. I was well aware that technically I was going to be a bit behind him. I managed to make the race harder in the final and I managed to win. I had nothing to lose today and I really wanted to keep my jersey. Ten years after winning a Junior World Cup on this circuit, it means a lot to win here. And this success also has a special flavor, I am proud to bring the first victory for AG2R CITROËN TEAM.[/su_quote]
