Jeune coureur prometteur, grimpeur, 𝗖𝗹𝗲́𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗼𝘂𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗻 𝘀𝗲𝗿𝗮 𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗲 𝗲𝘁 𝗻𝗼𝗶𝗿 en 2023 ! 🤝 📄 Le communiqué 👇 team-arkea-samsic.fr/clement-champo…
Clément Champoussin is moving teams at the end of 2022, with a one-year deal confirmed with Arkéa Samsic where he'll have a similar role and will hoping for more success for the years to come.
Champoussin said the Emmanuel Hubert's - Arkéa Samsic's manager - confidence "was a decisive factor in my decision". Champoussin is 24 years old and turned pro with AG2R Citroën Team in 2020 after two years riding as a stagiaire, and has become one of the team's leading figures developing himself as one of the best stage hunters and puncheurs in France. He's won the final mountain stage of the Vuelta a Espana, which remains his only win today - although he's been close to getting other World Tour wins on several occasions.
"There is a good atmosphere in the Team Arkéa-Samsic with a very strong family spirit. Emmanuel Hubert has presented me with a progressive career plan: in 2023, he wants me to focus on races with a mountainous profile with the aim of winning stages," Champoussin revealed in the team's press release. That doesn’t put too much pressure on me with possible general classifications".
"I will try to achieve these performances in a crescendo manner afterwards by focusing first on one-week stage races and then on three-week races," he added.
Champoussin is currently riding the Vuelta a Burgos, which he is using as a build-up towards the Vuelta a Espana where he'll be hoping to repeat the success of last year.
