Emmanuel Hubert, the Bretagne Séché general manager appointed three of the nine riders who will take the start of the Tour de France on July 4 in Utrecht (Netherlands). The French team will bet on the Frenchmen Pierrick Fedrigo and Anthony Delaplace and the Argentin Eduardo Sepulveda who showed that he is in a great form.
"lt was important for us to reveal the basis of our team for the Tour de France two months before the start. It will bring more peace in the coming weeks for the riders concerned", he explained in a press released. "For our second participation after 2014 edition, we want to show that we are growing and will conduct three objectives: a stage victory, a place in the Top 15 that we just missed it a year ago (with Brice Feillu who finished 16th) and, like last year, our nine runners finish in Paris."
"Pierrick Fedrigo is a safe bet he will do anything to win a fifth stage win in the Tour and will also bring a serenity to our youngest selected. Anthony Delaplace actually even same game if he already has a great experience in the Tour. He has yet to win this season but we count on the solid fighter that he is. For Eduardo Sepulveda, this is his first participation. We will hope that he will be able to show his level in the Pyrenees and the Alps."
