AG2R La Mondiale was happy with its performance at the Critérium du Dauphiné Libéré. General Manager Vincent Lavenu declared, "On the bottom line we are very happy with the great victory of Cyril, a sixth place in GC and the second place in the teams classification. And even today [Sunday - ed.] the riders were concentrating on attacking, with Christophe Riblon in the break of the day. A bit of a regret, too, as I think he did a youngster's mistake by attacking them in the [final] col, which has certainly cost him a potential victory. But Christophe will learn from situations like this, with races on a very high level and making tactical mistakes."
Lavenu added that "the team is on the rise. Cyril is getting back to his best level and Vladimir Efimkin has progressed in this Dauphiné. Unfortunately, John Gadret was sick and he couldn't go to his limits, but the team is well and overall the race was satisfactory."
