Thibault Guernalec: "I gave it my all, I finished brilliantly".

“I was within the top five times in a forty minute race today. It was probably the heat that made me give up. I took a water bottle in the feed zone and frankly at that moment the water was so cool that I thought it was a “mirage”, but it was very short lived! The body can come down in temperature in such heat if the effort is forty minutes or so, but on a one hour time trial it’s a problem. I have no regrets, I gave it my all and I finished with a bang”.

“This time trial is the longest I have ridden since the beginning of my career. I used to ride a lot in the young categories, but as I got older I didn’t ride it as much because there weren’t too many competitions to ride in. I started again when I turned professional. I find a lot of pleasure in competing in this type of race, especially as we have excellent equipment in the Arkéa-Samsic team. Setting times is also a good investment for me for the future”.
