Team Europcar were again in the spotlight in the Vuelta a Espana when Antoine Duchesne was part of the breakaway in stage 5.

"It was not really the game plan today but since nothing was happening I told myself why not go and try my luck. I talked to Keisse, he wanted to go as well so the both of us attacked. Then you never know, I knew Keisse is a good rider. In the end, the Lampre guy could no longer take his turns, we got disorganised a bit. But it was a nice day in the front. It's never a bad thing to show the jersey," he said.
