“I am happy to win the final overall classification of the Coupe de France de cyclo-cross, but I am a little bit disappointed with the two third places here in Troyes, but Line (NDAPCT : Burquier) is strong, I was in the fight with Marion Norbert-Riberolle, but I also know that I have had a week that was a little bit harder than the others in training. I am not disappointed with the result, I still have my goal in mind and I am not going to give up.

I am happy to win the French Cup, even more so with the French Champion’s jersey on my shoulders. The format of this trophy has changed this winter with two events to be contested: Saturday and Sunday, which means more fatigue than in the past. It’s harder than in other years, with eight events in total. It’s really physical, but I hope to benefit from it for the coming seasons, especially for the 2022 road season.
