The question remained. But, as early as Sunday, at the end of the Grand Prix de la Saint-Jean. Benjamin Le Ny had confided it to RCI. Although pre-selected in the 10 riders by Franck Duro in the Guadeloupe selection, he would not participate in the Tour de la Martinique this year, where he had finished on the podium, in 3rd place last year.
These are difficult choices. This may displease some people. I talked a lot with my president, with the coach. We discussed a lot to find an agreement. My club does a lot for me. If I perform well, it’s thanks to all my club partners and volunteers. And I don’t feel capable of doing all three laps. So, for this year, it will be Marie-Galante and Guadeloupe. I’m only 24 years old, I hope to do a few more years on the bike. Last year, I did Martinique and not Marie-Galante. You have to make choices. It’s very hard Marie-Galante, so reluctantly, I will not be in Martinique.
He also confirmed this Monday on his social networks.
Franck Duro, the general manager of the selection, who wanted him in his final list of 6 riders, will therefore have to review his copy to establish his team. The list of six starting riders was as follows: Jérémy Deloumeaux (JCA), Axel Taillandier (Team Madras), Damien Urcel (Vélo Club de Capesterre Belle-Eau), Benjamin Le Ny from USL, Meving Gène and Mathieu Pellegrin (CSCA ).
