Boivin finished the race 35 seconds behind the Tour winner’s time, posted by the Belgian Bjorn Leukemans of Vacansoleil-DCM. Leukemans led the Tour for the last three stages to win the 44th edition of the Tour.
“Today’s final [Stage 4 from Lacs de Haute Charente to Limoges, 180.9km] didn’t go as well as we hoped. However, the boys are all riding well now. They are gaining form rather than fatiguing. This is a great sign that bodes well for our upcoming races in Chateauroux, Zottegem and Overjise,” said Kevin Field, Directeur sportif. “Will Routley is recovering from his injuries; he struggled a little in this tour and is finishing with much better sensations.”
“Guillaume and Svein really started to gel as a unit in the final kilometers of these races. And Hugo, Mark and Ryan are doing an excellent job of getting them there,” added Field.
French Matthieu Ladagnous of Française-Des-Jeux won the fourth and final stage in the final sprint of the peloton, his second stage win in as many days. In the final group, there were both Boivin and Svein Tuft of SpiderTech.
SpiderTech powered by C10 will be back in competition this Sunday at Le Classique de l’Indre 2011, a one-day race, still on French soil. Next week, another SpiderTech delegation will participate in the USA Pro Challenge in Colorado, United States, which begins Aug. 22 with the prologue.
