"After five years in the same structure, I needed a change. I am happy to join the AG2R CITROËN team to continue my progress. It's a great challenge, the discovery of another way of working, another culture. When I see Ben O'Connor's success this year, it reinforces my choice. I hope to be able to participate in a big Tour and win a stage. I like hard races. I'm a hard climber, and I like a course with a lot of climbs"[/su_quote].
