British science and French panache: Simon Carr finds the perfect balance at Tour of the Alps

It’s a well-known fact that although riding under the British flag and born in Hereford, Simon Carr (EF Education-EasyPost) feels every bit as French as he does from the nation of his birth. And it could be hard to quantify just how that affects the 25-year-old in his racing career, but Carr summed it up perfectly after winning stage 4 of the Tour of the Alps. 

“I think it is quite a good mix of cultures to have the British real scientific view of cycling and then in France, it is more the old school panache and attacking,” Carr said in his post-race press conference.
