Paul Lenfant: “It was a great contest here in Lille and the organisation was superb. The conditions were tough, with 10 knots of upwind, downwind and sidewind. I personally adopted the Boothy technique, trying to break the draft train, but this wasn’t possible until the last 300m. It was a wonderful experience overall.”
Cindy Journez: “An amazing race at home alternating between upwind and downwind. There was a really good atmosphere with excellent riders. Special mention to Lylou, who finished 2nd. She is just 15 years old but getting better and better every day.”
