The best of pétanque is this weekend on the Côte d’Azur. This Saturday October 19 and Sunday October 20, the stars are all there at the Europétanque des Alpes-Maritimes. A major event at the end of the bowling season, now located at the Cagnes-sur-Mer Racecourse. It is near the horse racing tracks that the best players are divided into triplets. 512 teams throw themselves into battle. We take stock of the draw of the main favorites.
The French team in the viewfinder
Obviously, the triplet to follow as a priority during this weekend on the Riviera, it is the French team. On the way to the world championships in Dijon, the Blues selected the Europétanque as a major stopover. Thus, Dylan Rocher, Henri Lacroix and “Moineau” Feltain evolve together in the blue-white-red colors. We find them in an affordable group, with Desseaux, Chiari and Lettieri, local teams. Orphans of their pair, Moïse Helfrick and Diego Rizzi team up with Paolo Giraudo. There also against local triplets in a game of chickens.
Bonetto, Hatchadourian, Loy, Puccinelli…
Representative of CASE in Nice, Ludovic Montoro and Mayron Baudino are ambitious, with Romain Begoin. They appear in group 16, facing teams from Monaco and Alpes-Maritimes. The French doubles champions Yohan Cousin and Michel Loy are there, with a certain Thierry Grandet for third. A hell of a triplet, in pool 50. Jean-Michel Puccinelli is there, with Pierre Maurel and Pierre Lucchesi. This is also a team that should have a good run. Ditto for the title holders Patrick Laur, Lucas Desport and Sony Even. From the groups, they will have to face Jordan Clodic’s team. Michel Hatchadourian and Jordan Scholl will play alongside former Niçois David Riviera. With Mickaël Bonetto, we find Basil Jackel and Joseph Gimenez. In the pools, “Micka” and his team face Delys, Lacroix and Riviera, whose first names are Frédéric, Noël and Anthony.
