The three men took the lead with Florian Gerbe. At the end of the race Thibault Larpin had to tear himself away to let go of his competitors and win new ones in the city of his grandparents.
“This victory makes me very happy. Gaël made the hole with Alexis. Gaël has relaunched several times. It’s a race where we really didn’t look at each other. At one point, I got off the hook, we had to pull hard. It was played on the descent “

A scenario similar to previous years
Thibault Larpin was delighted to win for the third time in the city of his grandparents.
The Lyon rider was ahead of Alexis Dulin by only 5 seconds and Gaël Geffroy by 10 seconds. “Every year it goes like this. I try to come up with other scenarios, but I can’t tell the difference upstream, ”he adds with an amused smile.

A second difference between the first and the second female
Among the women, the victory was even closer, because Chamalièroise Sabine Petitjean was only ahead of Alexandra Droulin (AJ Monéteau) by a small second!
It was a very selective race. I started a little hard to make the hole at the start. I accused a little then. I clearly played for the win. My daughter put the pressure on me because she won her race in the small categories at the start of the afternoon.
