It was therefore the last time that he put his wheels on the plowed roads in competition. This Sunday, during the cyclo-cross of Kerlouan (Finistère) – scene of the last round of the Coupe de Bretagne – which he won, Tony Périou made an important announcement: “it was my last cyclo-cross (…). The decision had been made since the start of the season. At 29, I think I have covered the issue”he declared on the microphone of our colleagues from West France a you Telegram.
The Breton admits to having felt “less desire” at the time of the preparation phase and admits that he now wants to devote himself to “cycling pleasure”. Reason why he had already decided to leave VCP Loudéac to join Team Pays de Briec in the off-season. He will continue to compete on the road and in gravel.
In recent seasons, Tony Périou has won no less than four British cyclo-cross Champion titles. Among his most notable results in the discipline, he also won the National Championship in the Espoirs category, in 2017, and won a round of the French Elite Cup in Albi, in 2023, the year in which he also won the challenge of regularity.
