the champion of France Paul Lapeira had to overcome the injury

“How do you feel?” Is there a real impatience at home to be back in the race?
I am super motivated, as I have never been, I think, since my visit to professionals (in 2022). Impatience, it is, however, not necessarily the right word. I like the result, of course, but I also like the whole process. At the end of March, it was already a big satisfaction to be able to ride painless. I validated each step, like redoing long outings, reintegrating content, making big weeks of training … Everything was progressive and that’s what was interesting. I did not want to grill the steps. I saw the evolution, so there was no impatience. Impatience was each time to take the next step. And today, indeed, the next step is the race.
