Second double Chavanel
Jul 10, 2010
Today, 10th July 2010, it was another unforgettable day for team Quick-Step in the Tour de France. After his splendid victory in the stage at Spa, today Chavanel scored a double, making his mark at the high altitude arrival at Station des Rousses after a race dominated by Team Quick-Step. In fact, Chavanel’s victory was carefully constructed step by step with the participation of Jerome Pineau, who managed to get into the morning break and gather a good number of points for the polka dot jersey.
“It’s been an incredible day - explains Chavanel – I can believe it! These next days we’ll see. Tomorrow it’s going to be hard getting over the climbs but in the past I’ve done well on important climbs. Monday is the rest day and so I intend to give it my all tomorrow. I don’t want to have any regrets. This Tour is already great as it is.”
This is Team Quick-Step’s second victory at the Tour this year. Chavanel now leads the rankings and Pineau has firmed up his position in the lead of the standings for the polka dot jersey.
Chavanel will now start stage eight again with a special yellow painted BBB Falcon helmet and BBB Impact Team sports glasses. Pineau will start for the sixth day in a row with a polka dot Falcon helmet.
Team Quick-Step is sponsored by BBB with helmets, sport glasses, cycling computers, bags, pumps, tools and light sets in 2010.
