He kept up the scratch times, opening up considerable gaps from the three stages of the morning. The afternoon confirmed the domination of Patrick Henry, who added two best times to his haul. In the end, the Patrick Henry crew? Magali Lombard finished with more than 40 seconds on Guillaume Canivenq, Pierre Roché and Jean-Sébastien Vigion completing the quartet. “ It’s a very positive result, declared Henry after the race. We had fun, that was the aim of the operation. I am very happy for the team. We rode well.
