After Paris-Roubaix, the first round of the Nations Cup, the fine flower of the French Juniors is back for the second meeting of the Coupe de France this weekend. The Côte d’Or Classic and its three stages will offer many points for the Challenge S1Neo-DirectVelo Juniors. The online stages are worth 60 points to the winner, the time trial, 30 points and the general classification, 80 units.
At the start of this Côte d’Or Classic, Matys Grisel will return to his Hauts-de-France committee. Already at the head of the Challenge S1Neo before Paris-Roubaix, his victory on the cobblestones strengthens his place in the leader’s chair. The member of CC Nogent-sur-Oise has a total of 280 points, 127 more than Titouan Fontaine (VC Villefranche Beaujolais), his first pursuer.
Last week, it was not just Paris-Roubaix. Etoile du Limbourg du Sud (2.1) allowed Dario Giuliano to regain his place on the podium. 17th overall in Belgium, he gleaned 19 points throughout the four days. He is tied with Hugo Tapiz who scored no points last week.
This week, it’s not just the Coupe de France to score points. Penn Ar Bed Juniors has gone international. Ranked 2.1, it rewards stage victory with 50 points and final victory with 90 points. The riders from the west will have to face very international competition.
In the Junior 1 classification, Johan Chardon (Les Sables Vendée Cyclisme) still occupies first place in the S1Neo Challenge and he too will be present at the Côte d’Or Classic. In this second round of the Coupe de France, the South Region committee team has a strong Marseille accent. With six selected from VC La Pomme Marseille, the club will have several assets to defend its first place in the team classification of the Challenge S1Neo-DirectVelo.
