Electa Gallezot was not far away, last Sunday in Pierric, from obtaining her first podium in the French Cyclo-cross Cup in the Elite ranks (see ranking). “The sensations were much better than at the start of the season, which is quite normal as I cut back after my mountain bike season. It’s getting better and better, it’s nice, I’m still very happy with my weekend even if I didn’t go far from the podium.”rejoices with DirectVelo the representative of Sebmotobikes CX Team.
The previous week, she finished 14th at the European U21 Championship in Pontevedra (Spain). “I didn't particularly like the circuit and I wasn't particularly aiming for this meeting even if I was hoping for a little more.” The 20-year-old Franc-Comtoise has her sights set on the French Championship in Pontchâteau as well as the World Cup in Liévin. “I'm going to try to run less than last year in order to be in good shape at the end of winter. During the previous exercise, I had a slump after the French Championship and I was not in very good condition in Tabor (read here)“. She is reaching maturity for her third Hope year. “It’s pretty good, I’m keen to do well as the World Championship is in France. I can’t wait, I got an idea of the circuit by watching the 2022 French Championship on TV as I had undergone cruciate ligament surgery.”
Electa Gallezot is also thinking about the World Cup round in Besançon at the end of December. “It’s going to be really cool at home, I want to perform there. More generally, I want things to go better and better as was the case in mountain biking, to progress in the World Cup and to have fun.”. The second-year medical student is not expected to return to the Coupe de France circuit. “A priori, I will go to Antwerp and not to Troyes.” The same for Namur at the place de la Ferté-Bernard. “I really like the circuit around the citadel and the atmosphere is great, it’s nice to run there.”.
