Marie Moissonnier experienced a cruel scenario last Sunday in La Ferté-Bernard. 8th for a good part of the race, the Rhodanienne made a mistake in the final moments. “In the last part of the sand, I slipped and fell. When I wanted to leave, my gears no longer shifted. I was milling around, wasting time. Competitors overtook me. It was too late because on the restarts, I was less good“she regrets, moved, at the microphone of DirectVelo.
Finally, the almost 19-year-old athlete finished 12th and did not reach the podium among the U23 Women in the final ranking of the Coupe de France (see here). “If I finished 10th, I could have finished 3rd Hope overall. As a result, I lost a place, which is frustrating even though I was feeling pretty good. It's a shame. But it’s still good knowing that I am Espoir 2. I obtained several Top 15 and I finished 9th among the Elites.” Even though she had already slipped on the sand on Saturday, she enjoyed the Sarthe circuit. “He was good. There were some good rolling sections, quite a few passages on foot and some rather demanding slopes.”.
This season on the road, the member of Team Buffaz Gestion de Patrimoine-Lyon Sprint Evolution played for the first time in N1. “I really liked it, there was a good atmosphere. I was able to have a women's collective where they took me to the races. I'm punchier, I prefer hard and fast hills. And I am technically stronger than a rider.”. A communications student in Lyon, the resident of Cours-la-Ville switched from dancing to Cycling a few years ago. “One day I was supposed to go to the dance and my practice was canceled. My parents suggested that I come ride with them. Since then, I haven’t let go of the bike.”. In 2025, it will still continue in the same structure.
