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.
