AG2R La Mondiale Pro Cycling Team (Italy) - Press release: 6th win of the season.

Nans Peters’ victory today, his first as a professional, is the 6th win of the season for the AG2R LA MONDIALE team.

"This is huge".

“It's amazing. I haven’t realized it yet. I have now won my first victory among the pros, and in a Grand Tour. It's magical. Eight of us escaped on the first climb. I ended up in a group with a bunch of big names, but I didn’t let myself get too excited. I did my best to stay fresh for the final kilometers. And then I really focused at the end. I attacked only once with about 15 kilometers to go to the finish, and then I managed my effort well. With 1.5 kilometers to go to the line, I realized it was going to be enough. I could hear Arturas in my hear telling me that there was no one within sight of me behind. The team had a difficult day yesterday. This win give us the chance to continue on a good note.” - Nans Peters.
