Pierre Thierry: “The best way to discover the Dauphiné”

June 8 ^th 2025 - 15:46

"The team's objective was to be on the move. I went for the first attack and the two of us set off with Paul Ourselin. After that, we managed the gap to the peloton. I wanted to take the polka dot jersey but he was faster than me in the sprints we did together. I managed to take two points after that. And when I was caught by Fred Wright, that also gave me a boost and allowed me to push myself further. It was a great day. I'm discovering the Dauphiné and I think this is the best way to do it!

On the last summit, my legs were exploding and I didn't have much energy left after riding at the front all day. I gave it my best shot and I'm happy with my day. I'm in the running for the mountain classification, so we'll see how we work on that with the team."
