Noé Castille above the lot at Coudray

It was the day of the riders alone at Coudray, this Sunday. After Tom Destouches (C’Chartres) in minimal, Axel Bacle (VC Évreux) in cadets, it was Noé Castille who won the senior race of the 50th edition of the Coudray cyclo-cross by leading from start to finish. Stronger technically and physically, the young cyclocrossman (19 years old) from the professional team of Cross Team Legendre escaped from the start and never wavered. “The circuit was good with a technical part and a physical part. I had fun, ”confided Noé Castille.

His opponents, they could only admit defeat: “It’s another world, a step above”, recognized Vincent Limoges, runner at C’Chartres.

Second on arrival, the Chartrain delivered a superb duel with Gwénaël Fernier, the former Chartrain now at UC Montgesnoise. Isolated from the second round, the two men never left each other.

Limoges and Fernier put on a show

Vincent Limoges finished second (C’Chartres Cyclisme).

Third for a long time, Vincent Limoges found the opening in the last technical part to get the first runner-up. “Gwénaël hurt me the whole race, I couldn’t pass, he noted on arrival. The only way to beat him was to pass him in the forest. It was a little quits or double. »

Indeed, he had to make a good maneuver to pass his opponent in a narrow part because on the straights the power of Gwénaël Fernier allowed him to maintain the advantage. “He came back to the parts of the undergrowth, where when you’re big you don’t pass,” analyzed his (tall) opponent with a smile on his face before adding: “I’m going to cut my legs a few centimeters. »

The demonstration of the winner and the spectacle offered by his pursuers have in any case convinced, there should be a 51st edition in 2023.
