The popular success of the Queen of Enduro in Dordogne has not been denied over the years. The organizers of the Cyrano cluster club innovate each year to find new routes. For this 38th edition, Saturday May 3 and Sunday, May 4, it was CAP south with a trip to Lot-et-Garonne then a return to the Torsac cross circuit.

The suspense will have lasted for half a day, widely sunny. What was needed to the six -time winner of the event, Jérémy Tarroux, to take control after a cautious departure at Rayet. The Albigensian continues the places of honor to end the day on Saturday with a handful of seconds ahead of the Lozérien Killian Lunier and the Provençal Valérian Debaud, who wins the special of Gaugeac. All three are in the same minute.
Tarroux at 4 out of 8
It is still this devil of Tarroux who strikes hard from the first Sunday special, in Marcillac-Saint-Quentin. Like the day before, he won two of the four timed rounds of the day.

Killian Lunier, his runner -up, goes three times on the podium for this second day. But he still nourishes some regrets: “I made a few mistakes on Saturday that certainly cost me the final victory, because I finish 10 seconds in the scratch behind Jérémy [NDLR : Tarroux]. »

The competitor of Grasse, Valérian Debaud, is also in the same minute in the end, like Julien Gauthier, from Puy-en-Velay, handicapped by a race incident. “I fell yesterday [samedi]. Too bad, I would have liked to register my name once again at the charts [il a gagné en 2015 et 2018]. It is a great race to which I am faithful. We will do better next year ”.

Jérémy Tarroux is a winner with regularity. “I earn four stages out of eight. Even if it was only a few seconds in advance, I managed, without taking any risks because the error in Tursac or on the last in Montferrand can be expensive. It’s a bit like the lottery, but I like it, it gives a little spice, he smiles. My satisfaction is also a 7th victory. I pass in front of Marc Germain at the charts [six victoires de 2005 à 2011 sauf 2009]. It’s anecdotal, but it’s always nice. »»

Despite the threat, the rain only raged at the end of the ultimate special, in Montferrand, leading to the cancellation of an additional lap provided for the 40 top classified runners.
Women: Unlucky Peyssard
Among the women, the Bourbonnaise Marine Lemoine won ahead of Audrey Rossat and Lana Curvelier. Julie Peyssard, from the Moto Club de la Grappe, 2nd last year and specialist in the events in the sand, especially in the Touquet, is badly left: “I miss two specials on Saturday and I never managed to find the right pace. It’s the year without. »»
