Benoît Cosnefroy gains valuable experience in Tour of Flanders - "Feel a bit limited on the cobbles against the best riders"
CyclingMonday, 03 April 2023 at 07:00
The first-ever Tour of Flanders race for Benoît Cosnefroy resulted in a 16th place finish, with the French cyclist arriving at the finish line more than 5 minutes behind winner Tadej Pogacar.
The AG2R Citroën rider held his own among the likes of Stefan Küng, Kasper Asgreen, and Mads Pedersen, all of whom were regarded as formidable competitors in the race. Despite the tough climbs, he persevered and ultimately achieved a result that was more than honourable.
"I tried to anticipate as expected, but unfortunately, I feel a bit limited on the cobbles against the best riders. I found myself almost alone during the last 30 kilometres, it was very long. It is really an impressive race and I am really happy to have discovered it,” he told Cyclismactu after the race.
All things considered, he was thoroughly pleased with his debut in Flanders and expressed his admiration for the winner, Pogacar, who emerged victorious in a solo fashion despite the challenging course. “It's an extraordinary race, thank you Belgium! Pogacar? Hats off to him. When the three of them caught up with me, I could see that he was the strongest," concluded Cosnefroy.

My crashes over time have yielded a broken neck, broken back, broken left leg, crush pelvis, three broken collarbones, broken right arm and I've even lost a rib.
