Matéo Jot left Troyes with a smile. Having completely missed out on Saturday (23rd), he rectified his situation the next day, taking second place in the sixth round of the Coupe de France behind the ever-imperial Aubin Sparfel among the Espoirs (see ranking). “Yesterday (Saturday), I wasn't really into it. I even had a little pressure for the result. We all want to be in the French team and I know very well that it doesn’t matter”he conceded on Sunday afternoon, hotly, for DirectVeloafter having set the record straight. “I think I showed that I was there. I didn't focus on yesterday's result. I had fallen and made mistakes, that happens. I quickly re-mobilized for today and it paid off”.
“Practically at home, one hour from home” in Troyes, the member of Team CX TPM applied himself from start to finish. “When I caught Antoine (Jamin), I took advantage of the technical part to slip away. Léo (Bisiaux) came back at the end. It was the first one who made the mistake. I was stronger technically but he was better physically,” specifies the one who finally resisted the 4th of the last Tour de l'Avenir.
“I confirm my third place from Pierric. We shouldn't get stuck on yesterday's result. I'm not far from my peak form, I even think I'm there. I am progressing at a very good level even if there are always two or three things to refine. I am very strong at the moment. I knew very well that the conditions of the day suited me.” And he took full advantage of it.
