Clarisse Moriceau didn't expect it at all – News

For the very first time in her young career, Clarisse Moriceau climbed onto the box during a round of the French cyclo-cross Cup. It was last Sunday in Pierric where she took 3rd place in the Junior Girls event dominated by Lison Desprez (see ranking).

Before making the short trip to Loire-et-Atlantique, the teenager from Durtal VS (Maine-et-Loire) hoped to put in such a performance in the absence of Lise Revol and Jeanne Duterne. “I had a better start than the day before (where she finished 7th, Editor’s note), I was in a better position from the start. Then, I tried to do the best I could in the group of three, and I let go of the one who was 4th (Elena Amann, Editor’s note) at the end”she reports to DirectVelo.

A scenario that she dreamed of but which, at the same time, she did not really imagine was possible. “I didn't expect at all to be able to achieve this result, confides the one who finished 10th on Sunday in Nommay. The circuit had changed a little compared to Saturday's race. I felt better, it was smoother. I am very satisfied”. And it worked for him. Now hoping to confirm during the upcoming Coupe de France rounds.
