A few minutes afterHélène Clauzel was dethroned among women, Clement Venturini managed to keep his property and won his 7th French champion title – his 3rd in a row – this Sunday on the Pont-Château circuit, on which he had already adorned himself with blue-white-red in 2021. In mild conditions and beautiful sunshine, the Rhone d’Arkéa-B&B Hotels left no chance to the competition, escaping alone from the first of the eight laps to go before perfectly managing his lead thereafter.
