Paris – Roubaix: meeting with the Cofidis women’s team
The Paris-Roubaix, nicknamed “the Hell of the North” begins this Saturday April 6 for women, Nicolas Geay met the women’s team of Cofidis who went to this year’s route with Victoire Berteau, the leader of the group and French road champion.
The Cofidis rider, originally from the North, is preparing for Paris-Roubaix, Saturday April 6. A race that she knows quite well.
When she sets off on the Paris-Roubaix on Saturday April 6, Victoire Berteau will surely have a head full of memories. “The first sector passes ten miles from my parents’ house, she confides at the microphone of Tout Le Sport. When I was young, I came to let off steam on the cobblestones.”
A few months ago, last June, it was already at her home, in Cassel (Hauts-de-France), that the Cofidis rider won the French road championship. This year, it is therefore wearing the blue-white-red jersey, and all the pressure that goes with it, that she will experience this somewhat special race.
“My favorite race”
“For me it’s my heart’s race, chains the runner, It’s really the race I want to win in my career.” breathes the one who, last year, finished in 29th position. This time, she is aiming for victory and then hopes to focus on her Olympic dream.
