A week after Arles, the peloton of the U17 and U15 is found this Thursday in Istres-Rassan for the memory of Jean-Marie Einaudi, support for the 4th stage of the Tour des Bouches-du-Rhône. The opportunity for Cyprien Bouge Philippe, leader in the rushes ranking (intermediate sprints), to consolidate his beautiful red jersey.
Little at ease on the Fontvieille stage where the Côte de Barbegal made it suffer a little, the Avignonnais, licensed for two years at the VC La Pomme Marseille, will find a land more favorable to its sprinter qualities. “”I will do all the rushes to take as many points as possible. In Fontvieille, I was able to take a few points on two victorious sprints. In Istres, you will have to refuel to ensure the jersey to the final“, says the one who started cycling at the CVC Monfavet. Quick, Cyprien is also at the Petrarch agricultural high school where he studied in the first general class.”I jumped a class, I am a year ago“, He smiles.
Sixth on the finish line last Thursday, Kylan Touache Blondon pockets precious points that consolidate his yellow jersey. With four runners in the Top 8 in Arles, two of which on the podium, the runners of Mimosa Sprint Mandelieu are progressing. With three stages remaining to run, the classification can be quickly turned upside down. Marseillais are warned.
