Yesterday, Samuel Dumoulin (AG2R) won the Grand Prix de Plumelec in a sprint decision.

Samuel Dumoulin said: "I'm really very happy to win and I was even moved by this victory at the finish line. The current situation of the team is not easy and I was also frustrated by my lack of victories these last months. The team did a great race and everyone has done his part of work. We were well grouped together in the final and we were collectively strong. The timing of this victory is good.
