the Ardennes and the Coupe de France for Poitevin Valentin Ferron, the recruit of Cofidis

At the start of the season, everyone's programs are revealed. That of Valentin Ferron, the runner from Vienne, is becoming clearer.

The Cofidis adventurer will start with his new colors on Saturday January 25 at the Gran Premio Castellon. A race where Spanish rookie Alex Aranburu could perform.

Present at the La Marseillaise GP

The next day, the Classica Valenciana should suit the 26-year-old Poitevin more. The former winner of Paris-Camembert (2023), a stage of the Critérium du Dauphiné (2022) and a stage of the Tour du Rwanda (2021) will then be lined up for the GP de la Marseillaise, the resumption event in France on February 2.

Before continuing with the Tour de la Provence from February 14 to 16. Then, perhaps, with the Faun Ardèche Classic and the Faun Drome Classic at the beginning of March? A nice program which should serve as preparation for the three Ardennes (Amstel Gold Race, Flèche Wallonne and Liège Bastogne-Liège).

Will you see the Return?

A time hoped for, the Giro will not be on its program where the Coupes de France will be one of its objectives. At the end of the season, Valentin Ferron could participate in his third Grand Tour with the Vuelta.
