The paracyclist, Alexandre Léautédouble Paralympic champion this summer in Paris then world road champion, won this Friday during the ceremony of Golden Bike, the first trophy for the best French para runner in 2024. “The trophy is incidental, the most beautiful image of the evening is that para-Cycling is entering the Vélo d'Or“, declared the one who was opposed to Florian Jouanny, Mathieu Bosredon or even Marie Patouillet.

“Tokyo, Paris… It has nothing to do with it.”
“Having the trophy is a bit incidental, what is symbolic is that para-cycling is now entering the Vélo d'Or and I think it is the most beautiful image of the evening and I hope that it will continue in this sense. I don't know if the Paris Games allowed all that but it shows that para is being highlighted. As I said, being the first is a bit incidental but I hope it will continue in the same direction.” first declared Léauté.
“My year 2024 is magical, I still haven't come down from my little cloud. When everything starts again and we have to get back to work for next year, it's going to feel a little weird. The defining moment. .. that remains the Games, where I had not announced it but it was my number 1 objective. My coach picked me up when I was not good in time and he took me up to the maximum. high level Tokyo, Paris, that. has nothing to do with it. We entered another dimension in Paris. We are really considered athletes and it’s a big victory.”he concluded.
