ProTeam Matys Grisel confirms strong form with third place in La Roue Tourangelle

He had already claimed victory in Le Tour des 100 Communes at U23 level, secured the overall win in the Tour de Taiwan among the pros, and added a series of top-10 finishes along the way. Today, Matys Grisel added another impressive result with third place in La Roue Tourangelle Centre-Val de Loire.

“My legs were really good today,” he said. “Maybe good enough to win, but that’s how it goes… I was able to stay with the right group throughout the race and the team did a fantastic job positioning me well towards the foot of the climbs. In the final, I tried to race smart and let other teams do the work. In the end, we went to a sprint with around fifteen riders. In the last corner I was a bit poorly positioned. I could still move up, but not enough to win, unfortunately. Of course I’m a bit disappointed, but at the same time happy to take another step forward and secure this podium. And I’m very grateful to the team for their work and the trust they’ve given me.”
