Bryan Coquard, who was making his return to competition on a velodrome for the first time in almost five years, led until the points race by a short head. But in front, “he’s the Olympic champion (he laughs). With fatigue, as the day goes on, he manages fatigue better than the others. But I enjoyed getting back on the track”. “With Bryan we went blow for blow. At the end, I had stars in my eyes”underlined Thomas.
