Having attacked early on to form the breakaway of the day on stage 2 of the 2024 Criterium du Dauphine, the brilliant
Bruno Armirail lasted all he way until the final 200 metres before he finally caught by the remainder of the peloton.
"It came down to 200 metres, maybe 150! So it's obviously a big disappointment," the 30-year-old Frenchman, who came so close to adding another victory to
Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale Team's stunning 2024 season, reflected in his
post-stage interview. "I was so close to the finish and there was victory at stake, as well as the yellow jersey."
