Stage 5 of the 2024 Itzulia Basque Country went down to an incredibly close sprint finish on Friday afternoon. In the end, Groupama - FDJ's Romain Gregoire took the win, although he was far from certain himself.
"After the finish I didn't know I had won," the 21-year-old Frenchman admits in his post-stage interview. "hat was stressful, but this victory is certainly one that counts. Of course I am very satisfied. It was a madhouse today, with quite a fight in a fast stage."
In a messy finale, Gregoire took the narrow win ahead of Orluis Aular and Max Schachmann, with the Groupama - FDJ star quick to thank Quentin Pacher for his expert leadout in the finale. "I was taken along ideally by Quentin," he concludes warmly.

- I still can't believe how her teammates treated her that day. Her teammate literally sideswiped her and took her out and then after the race, the teammate claimed that she saw something yellow fall but she kept riding because she was going for the stage win (but finished 8th in the sprint).

- When a guy like Madoff gets done do you spout off about all the others trying to fraud in a lesser style who didn’t really gain much from their efforts? It’s like taxes, if we’re going to pursue everyone equally we may as well never start. I’m fine that we start at the top, there’s plenty of work there. Once we’ve caught the big cheats then we can see how valuable it is going after smaller ones.Mistermaumau24-11-2024
