In a race that went full throttle, Alan Mareau was able to hold the reins to become French Cadet Champion in the points race, Saturday, in Loudéac. “It started right from the start. My FX coach (François-Xavier Le Mao) informed me of the people to watch out for during the race. I followed them“, he indicates to DirectVelo. When Pierre Le Bourhis leaves at the start of the race, the rider from Pays de la Loire follows him. “We quickly took a turn. Then, I regained my health a little in the peloton and I went back to score points at the end, which allowed me to become Champion of France“. He is ahead of Pierre Le Bourhis on the wire thanks to the double points in the last sprint.
Cadet 2 had the ambition of at least getting on the podium for his first French Track Championship. “I trained well on the Laval track and I also did some training here in the Loudéac velodromehe adds. At the start of the Championship, I wanted to see what the track was like. I didn't feel very well at the start of the week, I was having more trouble. But then it was unlocked and today (Saturday), it bore fruit“.
If Alan Mareau discovered the French Track Championship in Loudéac, he has already participated in the road championship in Altkirch, in May, with the Pays de la Loire committee. “I am also Champion of Mayenne on the road“. For his Junior debut in 2025, he will stay with his club Laval Cyclisme 53.
