The French Cycling Federation (FFC) unveiled, this Friday, October 4, a narrow selection with only 9 athletes for the track world championships, which will take place from October 16 to 20 in Ballerup, Denmark. “These world championships are at the crossroads of two Olympics,” explains Florian Rousseau, director of the Olympic program at the FFC. And we already have in mind to maintain our UCI ranking. That’s why we only send competitive athletes to Denmark, it’s a matter of respect. Respect for ourselves, and for what a world championship represents. »

Helal defending his team bronze
Thus, three cyclists from Isère will participate in the high mass of the track, a few months after a lackluster Olympic Games. Among the men, Martinérois Rayan Helal and the speed team (Sébastien Vigier and Melvin Landerneau) will try to defend their bronze medal acquired last year in Glasgow (Scotland).
Among the ladies, Iséroises Marion Borras and Valentine Fortin will defend their chance on the Madison, an event in which Victoire Berteau and Clara Copponi won bronze in 2023. La Charrapontaine will also be able to play her personal card on the scratch.
