Bardet champions performance over result at Tour de France

Romain Bardet (AG2R La Mondiale) has said that he will ride the Tour de France seeking to produce the best possible performance rather than fixating on claiming final overall victory. In a wide-ranging interview with French newspaper Libération, Bardet also spoke of his dismay at how the former Festina trainer Antoine Vayer questioned the integrity of his performances at last year's Tour.
