From Wednesday to Sunday, she is competing in the Worlds in Ballerup, Denmark, with the hope of pocketing rainbow jerseys… But in the absence of her Olympic champion Benjamin Thomas, her ambitions are necessarily measured.
The workforce was in fact partly renewed by Florian Rousseau, director of the Olympic program at the Cycling Federation. We will therefore have to monitor the performance of the promising Oscar Nilsson-Julien, 22 years old, and Clément Petit, 23 years old, in endurance. On the speed side, the Blues will obviously count on Mathilde Gros, world champion in 2022, and the trio Rayan Helal, Sébastien Vigier and Melvin Landerneau, who will try to shine in teams.
The Track Cycling Worlds start this Wednesday, October 16, at 6:20 p.m. The competition will be followed every evening on Eurosport 1.
