Saudi Tour (1st stage), Dan McLay 11th

Yvon Ledanois (Sports director): “This first stage of the Saudi Tour, 198 km long, ended in a sprint and Dan MacLay took 11th place. For the Arkea-Samsic team, this day was synonymous with the first adjustments in order to find the right automatisms on this type of final. Without a rider for the general classification, we will be concentrated and united around Dan to get a result for this resumption of the competition. I am confident for the next few days.”
