🏅🇫🇷Bryan Coquard (Cofidis) gana la Etapa 2 de la Etoile de Bességes 2022 🇫🇷 #EDB2022 #EtoiledeBesseges #Noticiclismo #Ciclismo
The Frenchman didn't take long to take his first win with the Cofidis team, as he outsprinted Mads Pedersen in a suffocating uphill sprint.
Alexis Gougeard (B&B Hotels - KTM), Jens Reynders (Sport Vlaanderen - Baloise), Marti Marquez (Equipo Kern Pharma) and Thomas Denis (Go Sport - Roubaix Lille Métropole) set off on the day's breakaway, one that never endangered the stage and was easily brough in.
They were caught with 26 kilometers to go as some attacks came from the peloton, Sebastian Reichenbach and Remy Rochas in the longest climb of the day but the move was short lived as a raging peloton never slowed down until the finish line.
There was a big fight for positioning to the base of the final climb in Rousson (1.8Km at 6.3% average gradient, with the toughest ramps towards the end) and there Arkéa Samsic made the effort to make it as tough as possible, but some sprinters resisted the attack of Connor Swift inside the final 500 meters.
Few riders still had the energy to accelarate but Mads Pedersen took up the sprint, and alongside Bryan Coquard they went side by side almost to the line where the Frenchman just barely managed to take the win, before collapsing after the line. Pedersen finished a strong second and kept the yellow jersey, Tobias Johannessen and Mathieu Burgaudeau also managed to finish alongside them, with small gaps forming behind.

- everything you hear about lance and his team back in their “glory” days is so weird and creepy and gross. it always just reinforces that at least among a certain group, lance isn’t hated and despised only for the doping — other dopers have been cast out but not HATED — it’s because he’s just an extremely AWFUL human being in virtually every way imaginable.OCexile23-12-2024
- When I ask AI "Has Tadej Pogacar ever raced cyclocross against Mathieu van der Poel?", the answer says NO. Is that really true? Wonder how they would do when clearly in van der Poel's territory.Ride197423-12-2024
