It was news that will not surprise fans of Thibaut Pinot.
Failed on the Tour de France, the climber of Groupama-FDJ would have chosen not to retry the experience in 2021, according to information from RMC Sport.
Firstly because the Tour route, much less mountainous than the previous one, does not suit the masses.
But also, still according to RMC, because Pinot needs to regain a little serenity and to avoid the media and popular pressure linked to participation in the Tour de France.
Pinot had already made this decision in 2018, focusing his season on the Tours of Italy and Spain.
Which could be the case again this season.
Definitive answer, a priori, Tuesday, with the press conference presenting the Groupama-FDJ team for 2021.
