"I'm especially looking forward to the races that suit me better" - Benoît Cosnefroy looking for revenge in the Ardennes
CyclingWednesday, 12 April 2023 at 12:42
2022 was a good spring for Benoît Cosnefroy, but simultaneously a difficult one to accept. He finished second at a photo-finish Amstel Gold Race and then days later finished second once again at Brabantse Pijl. He returns this year to try and finally capture the win he's been seeking for the past few years.
“Especially in that race I had a lot of fun, but I felt that I couldn't be at my best in those races. Now I'm especially looking forward to the races that suit me better," Cosnefroy told L'Équipe in anticipation of Brabantse Pijl.
Last year's GP de Québec winner is a pure puncheur. He's tried out his luck at the Flanders classics this spring to test himself. A 16th place at the Tour of Flanders was promising, but he now returns to the terrain where he performs at his best. Brabantse Pijl is a race well suited to him and he starts today as one of the main contenders for the victory, one which AG2R Citroën Team needs badly in the midst of a very modest season.
Team DS Julien Jurdie also commented: “For Benoit, the lights are now green, both physically and mentally. He also likes to be seen as a favourite, as he is a winner. We also need this big win. The past few days I have seen the video of last year's Amstel Gold Race, that is literally and figuratively the little bit we need."
