As he announced the day before (read here), Aubin Sparfel attempted everything to reverse the tide this Thursday, during the last stage of the Tour de Bretagne. Without success. “I saw that everyone was a bit like today. I tried to accelerate in the bumps. Unfortunately, we were not followed enough collectively to attack so far. We tried to try in the final circuit. We ran a little upside down in the last kilometers. It is a mixed feeling, I came for the victory this evening.regret at the microphone of Directive The member of Decathlon Ag2r La Mondiale Dt.
The runner, who will celebrate his 19th birthday this Saturday, still retains his 3rd place (see classification) Unlike the previous step, he could not glean new seconds of man’s bonus. “It’s a beautiful podium. We preserve the essentials. It is a great week of learning and it is encouraging for the future”. A posteriori, he does not repeat the final of the fourth stage too much where he let the future winner spin, Felix Orn-Kristoff (read here). “He had to control three days, he had a very strong team, it was really not easy. I don’t have too many regrets. But it is certain that the final could have been different and when we see that he wins in the end …” “
The Tour of Italy Hopes in the viewfinder
For his first seven -day stages race, hope 1 confirms her good recovery faculties. “I knew I could get there as I’m really in good shape right now”. And his insatiable striker temperament. “Among the juniors, I made a lot of effort. There, I managed to be more preserved for the final. Afterwards, I always attacked a little because I like offensive and hard races. I prefer when everyone is cooked in the final”.
In the coming days, Aubin Sparfel will rest before playing the Tro Bro Leon with the Worldteam. “The goal will be to help the team well, test myself on the way and prepare for future years”. Then he will take a break before taking Alpine Isère Tour. “I will not be 100 % as I will come back to cuts. Then there will be the Baby Giro which will be a great opportunity for me with big and long passes. I think it can suit me if I prepare myself. By taking escapes, everything is playable”.
