Fédrigo: "It's up to the rider to screw up or not"

Pro rider since 2000, Pierrick Fédrigo, 37, 4-times stage winner on the Tour de France, spoke to the MPCC in an interview. He explains what he has experienced during his career and what feeds his disappointment.

Fédrigo feels, however, a fresh wind into the team staffs and the riders, especially the young ones who are able to get major results on the Tour de France.

But Pierrick Fédrigo reminds that « there will always be cheaters ». He recalls that « the responsibility to take enhancing drugs is up to the rider ». Riders tested positive have no good excuse, even if they argue that they did it because their contract is about to expire.

Team member of Fortuneo – Vital Concept, former rider of Crédit Agricole, Bouygues Telecom and FDJ, he has always done his job under MPCC memberships. « They are trying to set up things that allow us to demonstrate that cycling is cleaner and cleaner », he explains.
