After several podium finishes this season, Émilien wins the 1st stage of the Boucles de la Mayenne after a sprint!
A few days after his 2nd position on Antwerp Port Epic, Émilien Jeannière was keen to taste victory. This is now done, after a stage that was unpredictable for a long time. The breakaway was firstly caught just 500 metres from the finish line, before a massive crash which brought down many riders. Well positioned at the front, Émilien then launched his sprint perfectly on a slightly uphill section. More powerful on the pedals than his rivals, our rider showed all his determination to win!
Émilien has already won several times with the Vendée U, but today marks his first professional victory! After the finish, Émilien relishes the victory, as recorded by France 3 Pays de la Loire:
“Since the start of the season, I’ve been going round and round, so I knew it was going to happen. When, I didn’t know, but today it suited me really well, it’s an arrival I like.”
Congratulations Émilien for this superb success!
