The favorites at the omnium qualifying meeting, Le Net impresses
A first points race took place this Sunday morning, to determine the 17 riders who would take part, all day, in the omnium. Among the men, Benjamin Thomas and Bryan Cocquard, 4th and 6th in their heats, played it out. Morbihan’s Jean-Louis Le Ny was convincing by competing in five of the six qualifying sprints (20 points, 3rd in his series). Same satisfaction regarding Hugo Pommelet, the VCP Loudéac rider, who will therefore be one of the 19 invited to participate in the four omnium events.
Among the women, new demonstration from Marie Le Net who took two turns on almost all of her competitors to glean 48 points (!). By winning the first sprint, Emma Henry played it smart. The runner from Coëtmieux will also be one of the 19 elected, just like Ilona Rouat, her comrade from the Brittany Team.
