Fabien Doubey was the last to accompany Loris Rouiller, the winner of the first round of the French cyclo-cross Cup in Nommay, this Saturday afternoon (see ranking). “I played for victory for a long time but I made technical errors“, comments, for DirectVelothe TotalEnergies professional. He therefore climbed onto the podium behind two undergrowth specialists. “The level is super high, they train really well. I did with my natural qualities but to play in front you have to play a complete score“.
Nommay marked the reunion with cyclo-cross for the 4th in the last French Championship. “It was my first cyclocross session of the year, with obligations on the road. I’m happy to have fun before the break. It’s always nice to make a podium in a Coupe de France at home, in front of the family, it’s a reminder of the basics of Cycling“, appreciates the runner who will celebrate his 31st birthday this Monday.
On the other hand, Fabien Doubey does not know if he will return to jump the boards after his cut. “We will see with the team how the winter will work out. Recruitment into the team was done late, we did not have all the elements to answer all the questions“, he says. His priority of course remains the road. Last February, he placed 5th in the Tour du Rwanda. “I had a great start to the season thanks to this cyclo-cross breakhe emphasizes. We then took the decision with the team to have me cut before the French Championship to prepare for the races in July but I was not able to benefit from my training courses in July. (25th of the Tour de l’Ain, Editor’s note). I fell into Germany and caught Covid. I finally find little sensations to please me. This is a correct assessment“.
