Parlier, 26, was forfeited by injury at this World Cup, in a year devoted to his physiotherapy diploma. He came back slowly, 11e in Palma (and 4e French) and is set back in Hyères: 16e et 6e French, excluded from the 14 who will play the final table this Saturday, far from his friend Gomez, (5e) who could not run on Thursday.
“It’s not too great”
“For the moment, it’s not too great” admitted Parlier in the middle of the week without panicking too much. “I have work to do, physical preparation and hours of sailing, but I still have the potential. My first day in Hyères, where I was 6e in general, proves it. »
The young man with the soft look also confesses a less moral blow for two years for personal reasons. “I have to find the heart to work, the desire to perform, which I have missed lately. »
After the Palma – Hyères sequence, he will “decide on the rest of the season between now and the next world championship, my priority remaining to accumulate the hours of navigation. The return to the top mission is clear: to be the best Frenchman, which means being among the best in the world.
