This day necessarily had a special flavor for Rudy Barbierwho decided to end his career at the end of this 2024 season. “These are years that go by very quickly. The elders told me that when I started, and it’s true that it goes by very quickly”confided the 31-year-old runner to the microphone of the speaker of the Round Picardy. His little brother Pierre27 years old, will continue, with “the objective in 2025 to win as many sprints as possible and bring home a lot of points for the team” for the one who won five races this year in class 2 (two stages of the Sharjah Tour and the Round of the Oiseas well as the general ranking of the latter).
The ProTeam level for Pierre Barbier in 2025
Next year, Pierre Barbier will evolve at the ProTeam level since the team Philippe Wagner / Bazin will merge with another Belgian formation, the Bingoal WB. “It’s good news that the team is moving to the next level. Mr. Wagner has been doing everything he can for several years to reach the high level and he will be there next year. Any reinforcements for next season? I have no idea.”he concludes.
