Troisième en Bretagne, Arnaud De Lie confirme son retour au premier plan

troisième en bretagne, arnaud de lie confirme son retour au premier plan

Axel Zinglé, Benoît Cosnefroy et Arnaud De Lie (de gauche à droite) ont composé ce magnifique podium, samedi, au terme du GP du Morbihan.

Arnaud De Lie a bien failli ajouter une deuxième victoire de rang, samedi à Plumelec, au sommet de la célèbre côte de Cadoudal que les coureurs gravissaient à 13 reprises. L’Ardennais, parfaitement entouré par une excellente équipe Lotto-Dstny est toutefois tombé sur un autre favori, le Normand Benoît Cosnefroy, le récent vainqueur de la Flèche brabançonne, mais aussi Axel Zinglé (Cofidis) que De Lie avait dominé une semaine plus tôt à Marche-en-Famenne.

Parti un rien trop tard dans le sprint, au contraire de Cosnefroy qui prit le risque de prendre la tête très tôt, le Luxembourgeois s’est enrichi d’un podium supplémentaire, un magnifique podium du reste, quelques heures avant de disputer une course qu’il rêve de remporter, le Tro Bro Leon à travers les chemins de terre de cette région de Bretagne.

«Ã‚ Ce fut une belle course mais très, très difficile, a estimé Arnaud De Lie. Je ne dirais pas que j’ai tout donné dans les 13 montées de la Côte de Cadoudal, mais au moins 7 fois. Peut-être que j’ai manqué un peu de confiance, mais je suis finalement satisfait de ma troisième place. L’équipe a bien travaillé pour moi. Nous étions en tête toute la course, et les gars étaient là quand c’était nécessaire. Cela me donne confiance au terme d’une course exigeante, c’est une confirmation de mon retour en forme avant le Tro Bro Leon. »

Dont il sera un favori ce dimanche comme ses adversaires du jour, Zinglé et Cosnefroy, lequel n’a toutefois jamais participé au « Paris-Roubaix breton ».
