“Yes, everything is fine, I’m very confident. But it’s the Tour de France, with the best sprinters in the world. We will do our best, we have a good team to manage things and put me in the right position in the final. So I’m pretty confident. But as I said, it’s a Tour sprint, so I’ll need a bit of luck. We will do our best to get a good result and hopefully the victory,” said the French sprinter.
