Timéo Louison got off to the worst possible start to the Dijon cyclo-cross last Friday. “I derailed in the first straight, so I started last. Afterwards I did a comeback run“tells the microphone of DirectVelo the member of AC Bisontine.
The almost 16-year-old runner was able to climb to 3rd position (see ranking), but was unable to catch the leading duo Gaël Guillaume-Florian Fery. “They were already too far away. I'm still super happy. This is my first podium in a UCI race. I score a lot of points, I will be better placed on the line for the next round of the Coupe de France.” During the first act in Nommay (Doubs), the resident of Rioz (Haute-Saône), not far from there, was left wanting more. “I was quite disappointed with my 17th and 15th places. I aimed better. I'll try to catch up with Pierric. A Top 10 would not be bad“.
Timéo Louison started Cycling at the age of four. “My parents did it and so did my brother. I was immediately put in the bath“. On the road, during this 2024 exercise, Timéo Louison became Burgundy-Franche-Comté Cadet Champion and finished 7th in the French Championship. These performances allowed him to join the Groupama-FDJ U19 structure for 2025. “Next year I will have a team role. I'm more of a puncher, I go over small bumps well. I want to discover great races abroad and the cobblestones. My goal is to gain experience to be ready for Junior 2.”
