A fast start for the 37th edition of the French race.<\/p>\n
Ethan Hayter took his third top ten of the season, and just like on the previous occasions, this result too came in his favourite discipline, the time trial.<\/p>\n
The British Champion was one of the six Soudal Quick-Step riders at the start of the Boucles de la Mayenne Thursday evening, and once again produced a fine effort to finish the 5.4km prologue held in Laval as the team\u2019s highest-ranked rider. Hayter averaged 47.84km\/h and stopped the clock in 6:46, which put him in tenth place at the end of the day.<\/p>\n
Boucles de la Mayennes continues Friday with a stage between Saint-Berthevin and Ch\u00e2teau-Gontier-sur-Mayenne. Despite the parcours not being completely flat, it should be an opportunity for the sprinters, and our squad will try to be in the mix for a good result with Alberto Dainese.<\/p>\n
