Selected to participate in the road race, David Gaudu is “looking forward” to attending the first briefing by his coach Thomas Voeckler.
David Gaudu is ready for the World Championships. A week before the road race, the Groupama-FDJ climber confirmed his good form seen in the Vuelta (6e of the general classification) during the Tour of Luxembourg. On Sunday, the Breton even found the path to victory by winning the last stage. A very good omen for the World Championships.
“This victory confirms a good form since La Vuelta, I will try to keep it until next week for the World Championships”David Gaudu confided to the microphone of the L’Equipe channel after raising his arms on the Tour du Luxembourg.
Gaudu: “I can’t wait to see what Thomas’ briefings will be like”
The 27-year-old rider said he was looking forward to attending the first talk with French coach Thomas Voeckler. We have a very good French team at the start and I can’t wait to see what Thomas’ briefings will be like.he said.
These are still the Thomas Voeckler briefings and I’ve never really had too many (laughs). In any case, I’m very motivated, and the confidence capital to go to the World Championships is there, I made efforts, I was walking well… Now, I’m going to have to recover and I already have the World Championships in my head.”
Groupama-FDJ sports director Benoît Vaugrenard confirmed that David Gaudu was not going to Zurich to make up the numbers. David now has a big goal next Sunday at the World Championships, where he could have a good card to play given his form, said the former runner. He will be in the running, that’s for sure, it remains to be seen what the strategy will be. In any case, it bodes well for the upcoming races.”
