After her victory in Crans-Montana last June, we thought that Loana Lecomte had drawn a line under mountain bike success. But at Mont Sainte-Anne, the Frenchwoman respected nothing, even less our dignity. Second behind Sina Frei at the end of the short track cross-country race, Loana was keen to take revenge in the cross-country race. And as is very often the case with French mountain biking, it is the FFL which toasts at the end.
Loana Lecomte (again) attacks mountain biking
French champion in the specialty, Loana Lecomte’s ambition was to show the national colors at the finish line. She could have done it by finishing it at an anonymous place in the soft stomach. But no, Loana is an irreducible Gauloise inhabited by flawless panache. In an unbreathable mano a mano accompanied by the Austrian Laura Stigger, Lecomte finally distanced her in the last lap and flew alone to victory. His eleventh career World Cup. The Annecy native thus follows in the odious footsteps of Victor Koretzky, author of an unacceptable end to the men’s season. Bad influence when you hold us.
“I had a lot of fun. It’s nice to end the season in style” Loana Lecomte
Our only reason for hope lies in the ranking; Loana Lecomte did not win the general classification of the World Cup, and the icing on the cake, she even finished at the foot of the podium for 37 small points over the South African Candice Lill. We try to console ourselves as best we can.
