3 titles in 5 years, an honorable record!
Thomas Voeckler has a very positive record at the head of the France team. Since 2019, he has won three titles, two world titles thanks to Julian Alaphilippe (2020,2021) and a continental with Christophe Laporte (2023). During the last Olympic Games, France left with two medals, the Silver of Valentin Madouas et the Bronze of Laporte. However, during the last two Worlds, no Frenchman entered the top 10 and the next ones do not seem cut out for the French. The course promises to be very rugged and it will be difficult to compete with Tadej Pogacar or even Remco Evenepoel on this type of route.
