Amandine Fouquenet’s Franche-Comté weekend ends with a beautiful ray of sunshine. The representative of Arkéa-B&B Hôtels finishes on the podium of the second round of the French cyclo-cross Cup in Nommay (see ranking). The sky was a little cloudier for her the day before, with her 5th place. “I’m happy to make the podium today. I was disappointed yesterday as a competitor but I knew it was my recovery. This is the normal process“, she comments for DirectVelo.
This Sunday, the 23-year-old cyclist was on the attack. “I recovered well, this morning I felt good, I didn’t lose confidence and I told myself that everything was possible“Amandine Fouquenet quickly found herself alone in 3rd place behind the duo in the tricolor jerseys, Schreiber-Clauzel. “They are far ahead (2’41”) but in a cyclo-cross anything can happen with a mechanical problem“.
The Vice-Champion of France is therefore at the start of her winter season which she is starting with full of hope. “The longer the crosses go, the better I will feel. I am satisfied with my place. The World Cup rounds are coming up later this year and I’d like to see what I’m worth, she hopes. The objectives will arrive more at the end of the season“.
