If he no longer has his white tunic of the best young person on the evening of the 2nd stage of the Tour of Italy, Alex Baudin enjoyed showing it off for a day, with the fervor of the public, and, always, his good legs. 4th the day before, the member of Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale Team22, still had enough energy to climb to 14th position. “I held on as hard as possible,” told the Albertville native on his team’s microphone.

“Moments that are rare”
“I took advantage of the publiccontinues Alex Baudin. These are rare moments so it’s really nice. And I still felt great. I managed my climb well (towards the Sanctuary of Oropa), I stayed a little in the wheels at the start, and I was able to get back on track at the end to catch up with a few runners. In the end, I didn’t finish very far. Afterwards, I lost the jersey, but I have nothing to regret, because I had very good legs and I gave everything.” “It’s rare, it was really nice. The team did a great job all day, we were in a good position, we took advantage of this jersey to put ourselves at the front. We were in good spirits in all the bumps so it was a great day.”
