Take a great site, draw a beautiful course, add a platter of outstanding runners, add a large audience and you have the second cyclocross Rodez.
After a long drive, we arrived at the site of the park or Vabre cadets began. Hugo party fast to race alone and then by managing to win. Thomas falling at the first corner very technical, but leaves to make his race and rank seventh and second youngest first year.
After the juniors, it was our turn. An exceptional, with the arrival of Arnaud Jouffroy that needs no introduction, while Jeremy Grimal Recently at the 10th national challenge Hope, Alain Guinle our world champion master ...
The start was hectic, but I manage to wedge myself in 3rd position behind the two favorites Jouffroy and Grimal. I keep the 3 / 4 turn with them to surprise me with a spike and drop. I get up but can not return to the head while Roman Courcieres comes over me. It makes a half turn and then I let go of all the parties in technical and physical in the woods. I manage to keep the gap to 10 seconds but Roman accelerates again.
The rest of the race is the same melody. Jouffroy wanders before, following a 1 minute Grimal, Roman accelerates ever and I'm trying to limit the differences but really, before this is over but the cross cyclo cross bike.
Ultimately, Arnaud arrives with 2min14 ahead of Jeremy when Roman came back a few seconds on him. I arrive at the 4th position with 3min43 behind, it hurts when last Sunday I had taken the challenge "1min50" in the teeth.
Finally, I hope there will be better days why not with Castres on Sunday. It was a beautiful day with the public came very numerous, a great time and a mess of the champions.
