Student in Rennes, on a work-study basis at Pouldreuzic (Henaff), the Quimperois Alan Guezingar is, this season, the declared rival of the Gabéricois Nicolas David in Finistère. At 21, the boy, trained by Grégoire Le Calvé, cannot go on road trips during the week. It thus demonstrates that high-level sport in winter can be combined with well-balanced training on a home trainer.
Objective: the championship
from Finistère
“When I compete in a cyclo-cross on Sunday, I force myself to do a big training session on Saturday, he explains. If I sometimes lack freshness at the end of the event, I think the reason must be found in this preparation from the previous day. » Alan Guezingar makes no excuses. He even admits to being in perfect osmosis “with the objectives (that he was) set at the start of the season ».
Question of freshness, the Quimperois alludes to these attacks that Nicolas David regularly places at the end of the event, « et which really hurt me a lot.” Nothing to upset the young Quimperois, who reminds us that “twice, in the rounds of the Coupe de Bretagne, I nevertheless showed myself to be the best Finistère”.
However, he states: “My first objective of the season is in eight days, in Gouesnou. I would like to be champion of Finistère. »
A promising fight
In Lampaul-Ploudalmézeau, this Saturday November 23, 2024, he will discover the circuit, but as it is a Saturday, he is delighted: “It’s the day I feel fresher. »
The protégé of Grégoire Le Calvé could thus show his fifteen years elder that the generational war is still increasing in pressure on the verge of future objectives: departmental and regional championships, then French championship. The fight looks promising to enter the prize list of the first cyclo-cross of the Three Sheeps, this Saturday.
Practical. Lampaul-Ploudalmézeau, this Saturday. Fourth round of the Bout du Monde challenge. Departure of U23s and seniors at 3:30 p.m.
