Audrey Cordon-Ragot aims for a 7th title at the French Championships

If Audrey Cordon-Ragot already has the lead at the Paris Olympic Games after having recently been selected alongside Victoire Berteau and Juliette Labous, she nevertheless forgets that the French Championships have always held an important place in her career .

The Morbihannaise has collected tricolor tunics and would love to add more to her wardrobe. French road race champion twice, in 2020 and 2022, she is above all at the head of six national time trial titles, the last acquired two years ago in Cholet, while also having climbed six times on the second step of the podium since 2012.

Suffice to say that on Thursday, between Mont Saint-Michel and Saint-Martin-de-Landelles, over a distance similar to that of the men (35.2 km), the Breton will once again set off in the shoes of a logical contender at the coronation. But she won’t be the only one. Because last year on the Cassel circuit, the multiple French champion came up against, against all expectations, her Finisterian neighbor Cédrine Kerbaol, who managed to dethrone her by nineteen short seconds. Since then, the Brestoise has had a superb first half of the season, winning the Tour of the Valencia community and during Durango-Durango. And like last year, she prepared very carefully for this national event.
