The two Tricolores dominated the competition on Sunday in Elancourt (Yvelines), and can have high hopes ten months before the Olympics.

A more than promising double. While the test event of the Olympic cross-country mountain bike event took place on Sunday, September 24, on Elancourt hill (Yvelines), the women’s and men’s events each crowned a Frenchman. Among the women, Loana Lecomte raised her arms, a few hours after the success of Victor Koretzky among the men. Also note the third place of Pauline Ferrand-Prévot.

If this meeting in Yvelines, on the highest point of the Île-de-France region (231 meters), did not represent a major sporting challenge, the Blues were full of confidence on a track that they will find again during Olympic events on July 28 and 29. Stage 2 was on site, alongside the competitors who were discovering this physical and dynamic route, with fairly short climbs, created specifically for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
