By placing two riders in the top 10, France realized a very good performance. Bernard Bourreau, coach of the France team, is satisfied and says that the title is approaching. The last French world champion is Laurent Brochard. He won the rainbow jersey on the Circuit de San Sebastian.
"It was a great race, really applying the instructions, I think it was the right tactic", the french coach Bernard Bourreau told L’Equipe. "Gautier’s escapement rolled the other teams and helped anticipate a possible sprint Bouhanni. And all of them are put in the final for Gallopin and Bouhanni which he did not miss much. Gallopin took the measure beefy. It showed that we could trust him, he's a man championship. He told me there very long: 'Trust me'. Next year, if he continues to progress, we will make him trust again."
"Our young people have been among the best world with the help of the elders, who worked for them. Chavanel had a role in road captain, he lacked something on the end. Six French riders in the final, we had not seen it for a long time. They approach the podium, we will get there. We will work hard to be on the podium and win the rainbow jersey."
