"I thought it would be a long day alone with long straight lines, however I enjoyed it a lot" - lone breakaway warrior Simon Guglielmi

Simon Guglielmi probably imagined his stage 7 breakaway experience to go a bit differently, but as all of his comrades quickly abandoned him at the front, the stage turned into an endless ITT for the Arkéa Samsic rider. However the Frenchman's efforts didn't go unnoticed, as he was awarded the combativity prize after the stage.

"When Mathieu Burgaudeau told me 'I leave you alone,' I thought it would be a long day alone with long straight lines, however I enjoyed it a lot," Guglielmi said after the long day up front.

"The two riders who caught up with me were fresh. They hurt my legs quite hard. I was already in the breakaway on day 1 and I was hoping to get the combativity prize. To have it today it’s super! It was good day at the end," he concludes.
