He barely drew on his reserves to raise his arms on Friday, November 1, in Mesves-sur-Loire. Orléanais Maxime Girardin has prepared well for his next meeting with the Coupe de France.
He never gives the impression of forcing. It even looks like it's flying over paths and ditches. It's work though.
Maxime Girardin had never won at Mesves-sur-Loire. ” It's true. In Nièvre, I won a few, but not there. Two years ago, Miguel Martinez beat me. I didn't expect this. I was very impressed. He was above the rest, that's all. »
“When the motivation is there, everything goes”
But things have changed. The Orléanais had announced the color. He kept his word on Friday November 1st. Not bad for someone over thirty. “I’m 34 years old. Fishing, I have it. Motivation too. Everything is never easy. Sometimes it gets a little stuck. So when that happens, I get motivated again. And when the motivation is there, everything goes. »
He wrote the scenario as he pleased, Friday November 1, on the banks of the Loire, on the route traced by the Union Cosnoise sportive. “I left at my own pace. I told myself that there was no point in going all out from the start. »
In this little rocket launch game, the two new members of C'Chartres Cyclisme, Damien Gazut and Cyrian Merlin from Nivernais, showed off their tunics. But, quite quickly, Aurélien Uzon (ASCO VTT) and Maxime Girardin caught up with them on the pedals. Then, the Orléanais bided his time. And Uzon never saw him again. “This week, I did a big ride behind a motorbike. I had great feelings. I said to myself “this one is for me”. I always do this a week before the Coupe de France rounds. I go on shopping. The competition is less strong. This makes for a good training gallop. »

Next objective, the Coupe de France in a week exactly in Pierric (Loire-Atlantique). “In Masters, I placed second at Nommay. There, I'm going for the win. That's why I have to earn. I will be in Chaulgnes on Sunday November 3. »
As for Damien Gazut and Cyrian Merlin, they could only see the damage. “When he’s like that, Maxime is untouchable,” recognizes Cyrian Merlin. “We’re going to see what it’s going to be like in Chaulgnes. »
