Until the last lap, she held her Top 10 in the World Cup but at the finish of the sunny Benidorm round, Amandine Fouquenet saw the ax fall right in front of her (see the ranking). “I don't have my Top 10 but I'm getting close“, she comments for DirectVelo.
The French Champion showed off her jersey in the top peloton. “I did the whole race with the best before jumping on the last lap. Running with the best feels good but I'm still missing a little bit to accompany them until the end“, she assures. The Arkéa-B&B Hotels road race has returned to a racing configuration that it had already experienced, in Spain, in November. “Among the girls, there is a homogeneous level, they ran in a peloton like at the European Championship. It's complicated to make the difference on such a fast track“.
As on the road, places at the head of the peloton are expensive. “I paid for my placement, I was last on the last lap. I was hanging a bit to get back up. But I get some positives from it“. Amandine Fouquenet still has work to do before the meeting in Liévin. “I had a good week, I will have another good week next week in view of the World Championship. You have to go through moments that hurt“. But also good for the head.
