Clément Venturini: “Quite far from a great performance” – News

Difficult race in Maasmechelen for Clément Venturini. In 15th position after the first two of seven laps, he then lost several places this Saturday during the Belgian World Cup due to a fall. “On a descent, I went over my bike. I twisted the handlebars. I lost time getting to the station and I was relegated quite far.”regrets at the microphone of DirectVelo the member of Arkéa-B&B Hôtels.

The French Champion had so far been satisfied with his start to the race. “I was immediately in the right rhythm. I could have finished in this place without falling.”. Ultimately, the 31-year-old rider finished just in the Top 20 (see ranking) in the Belgian quagmire. “With such a career, I didn't expect to play the leading roles, but also not to be in 20th place. I was still quite far from a good performance. I’m a little disappointed, it was quite complicated.”

Now it's time this Sunday for the final act of the World Cup in Hoogerheide in the Netherlands where he remains in two consecutive Top 10 finishes including at the World Championship two years ago, as well as a 4th place in 2017. “It’s a great circuit where I’ve already achieved great performances. My mind is already on tomorrow.”
