“Cycling Triumph: Louis Allain wins the Critérium de Botsorhel after two years since recovery from a car accident”

Critérium de Botsorhel

It was a thin peloton (24 starters) which set off for the 108 km to be covered (30 laps of 3.6 km). Four riders quickly formed a breakaway which, in the end, held out: Louis Allain and Johan Le Bon (UC Briochine Bleu Mercure), Maxan Tanguy (Dinan Sport Cycling) and Killian Tharrut (Dinan Sport Cycling). The hole was made in the first laps, and the chasing group never managed to pick up.

Johan Le Bon, undoubtedly one of the favorites of the day and who almost a year ago won the Tour de Bretagne, this time was unlucky. By puncturing two laps from the finish, he was excluded from the race for the podium.

At the same time, Maxan Tanguy launched an attack, quickly followed by Louis Allain – who came to Botsorhel by bike this morning – who had had more under the pedal, and won against his competitor Dinannais.

Allain Family Day

A great story for the young man from Ploubezre (22), back in the pelotons this season, and who won his first race among seniors, two years after being knocked down by a car. “I struggled, especially after Johan Le Bon’s puncture, but it did. We kept a good rhythm, it helped us in relation to the rather difficult climatic conditions, ”analyzed the winner. Especially since he could also be happy to see his brother, Paul, win the cadet race earlier in the afternoon. A great day for UC Briochine and the Allain family!
