This weekend, head to Pontarlier (Doubs) for a time trial and a road race.
Saturday, for the online event on a selective circuit with a few restarts, Paul climbed to the third step of the podium after going out alone in pursuit of the two escapees who fought for victory.

He therefore brings back two bronze medals to the Basin. “I am really satisfied with these championships after a long convalescence. The work during this spring paid off. Now, I am waiting for the response from the technical director of disabled sports to find out if I have the ticket to represent the French team for the world championships which will be played in Poland, from September 6 to 15”, confides the athlete.
