the Tarnais Benjamin Thomas and his teammate world champions of the American

Tarn cyclist Benjamin Thomas and Donavan Grondin climbed to the roof of the world on the American! In the supercharged atmosphere of the Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines velodrome, site of the Games in 2024. So they won the gold this Sunday, October 16, 2022. Benjamin Thomas had obtained a second place, the day before, in the omnium. “We want to be there but it will go faster at the Games and we were here in a particular end-of-season context with a lot of tired riders. So it’s still a good benchmark, but we’re not going to get carried away”, commented the Tarnais who himself had arrived on the kneecaps after a long season on the road. This is the sixth world title for France in the specialty, the last dates from 2017.
