Pierre Quiroga won the second stage of the 52nd edition of the Solitaire du Figaro this Wednesday morning, his first success in this event, at 28 years old. On arrival at Fécamp, the Southerner did not hide his joy after having swallowed a few sips of champagne: “
I remember first that I fulfilled my contract. The main objective this year was a stage victory before the general. The first stage (won by Xavier Macaire, editor's note), I was not far with the second place. That's crazy ! I have never done such a complicated step, the most complicated in my life. It was a combination of everything a sailor should know how to do. I am surprised but also delighted to have won it in this beautiful way, but here my hands are very sore. Physically, it
was very hard. "
