On the outskirts of Chambéry after stage 7, team Directeur Sportif Cherie Pridham was lost for words as the car drove past Cyclingnews. At the team bus, there was a similar sense of disbelief. The same joy that had been present 24 hours earlier remained, but also a full team in a daze at what the 23-year-old Breton had done. Again.
