the French team in recognition of the demanding course

It was in the Australian rain that the nine French riders carried out a final training session before the road race which awaits them, on the night of Saturday 24 to Sunday 25 September, at the world cycling championships with a scheduled arrival in Wollongong ( Australia). Led by Julian Alaphilippe, who will seek to achieve the treble after his dark year, the Tricolores have spotted part of the 266 kilometers of the race route.

With Valentin Madouas, Benoît Cosnefroy or even Christophe Laporte, capable of making a splash during this race, the French riders will have to coordinate as well as possible to maximize the French chances. With this in mind, Thomas Voeckler, the coach of the Blues, wanted to obtain “a good small group atmosphere“. Which could prove decisive in view of the race.
