The former France champion Nacer Bouhanni experienced several difficult seasons at Cofidis. Unable to find his place in the workforce, his departure this winter at Arkea Samsic came as a relief. An opportunity to relaunch your career and find pleasure on the bike. At the start of the Saudi Tour, the objective was clear : find the way to victory. After a more than conclusive start on the first stage and its very difficult final, victory was quick to arrive, during the 4th stage. A deliverance for the one who hadn't raised his arms since 1 year and a half. Embarrassed in his last sprint, the sprinter had to let slip the final victory for the benefit of the German Phil Bauhaus, but the main thing is there, the condition and confidence are there for 2020. Next big meeting ? Tirreno Adriatico, early March, where sprinters like Peter Sagan, John Degenkolb, Fernando Gaviria, Dylan Groenewegen or Arnaud Demare will also be present
