Ag2r delivered a good performance in the 4th stage of Tirreno-Adriatico with Alexis Vuillermoz and Rinaldo Nocentini in 4th and 5th respectively. Nocentini and Domenico Pozzovivo are  twelfth and fifteenth overall respectively.

"Since the beginning of the week, I have worked for Domenico and Rinaldo," Vuillermoz said. "I took over and set a hard tempo, and we found ourselves with numbers. I have been in good shape since the Tour de San Luis, despite a flu after Haut Var. Tirreno is a tough race but we have ambitions."
