This Sunday, Clément Horny also won the tricolor. He finished fourteenth among the elite men and first in the elite 2, the category of those without a contract. “I got off to a good start and stayed in contact with the best for quite a whilesays the rider from the BH Wallonie MTB Team. Unfortunately, following contact with Anton Ferdinand (Editor’s note: a rival among the elites 2), I found myself in the barriers. I hurt my hand, and, above all, I lost contact with the Top 10. Which was my goal, for the UCI points. So I focused on winning the title.”
gullI think I proved myself, this season, I showed that I deserve a professional contract. I was under pressure to win this elite 2 title and I responded. So I hope this title can open doors for me.
He ensured the tempo in the pursuit group he was in, in which he was the first of the elite 2.”This title is a great reward, the culmination of all the investments of my family, of my team… I think I have proven myself, this season, I showed that I deserve a professional contract. I was under pressure to win this elite 2 title and I responded. So I hope this title can open doors for me.”
On Wednesday, he was invited, like other Walloons, including Antoine Jamin, fourth in the Belgian U23 Championship, to reconnoitre the course with the Charles Liégeois Roastery CX team. A sign?
