Two victories and an 8th place overall in the Vuelta, David Gaudu is doing well, thank you for him.

Finally, do we want to say.

Winner of the Tour de l'Avenir in 2016, is Thibaut Pinot's right-hand man crossing the course supposed to lead him to the heights that have been promised to him since his arrival in the professional peloton?

His excellent Tour of Spain goes in this direction.

However, it will be confirmed in 2021 and that's good because the rider from FDJ Groupama does not lack ambition, as he told the

Parisien

after arrival in Madrid.

“We have the right to have dreams.

So, yes I say it: I dream of winning the Tour.

Will I get there?

This is an other story.

But I want to try, ”said enthusiastic David Gaudu.

Breton like Hinaut, the young Frenchman does not let himself be distracted by comparisons ("a lot of people have had this label before me and others will still have it behind") with the exception of those with the generation of Pogacar, Evenpoel and Bernal.

“I was asked if we [he and the Spaniard Marc Soler] were not the symbols of a generation which lost its place in front of the emergence of Evenepoel, Pogacar or Bernal.

It is hurtful and it stings to the quick.

As if, at 24, I was already in the trash.

I felt denigrated […] But my progress is not over!

It is up to him to prove it next year.
