"It could also be Bryan Coquard's thing" - Victor Lafay confident that Cofidis will win French national championships
CyclingSaturday, 07 January 2023 at 06:00
Cofidis rider Victor Lafay is preparing to start his season at the Tour Down Under. He got the chance to scout the course for the 2023 French Championships and shared his observations.
"I think it's going to be selective," he told CyclismActu. He continues, "It looks really tough. The cobbled hill is already not easy, but the finish climb is even harder.”
He responded that the course was to his liking. "I think. With that, plus the narrow sections, it's going to be a really demanding circuit. It's a punisher's course so it could be the right one for me. But it could also be Bryan Coquard's thing."
While the championship is still a bit further off, Lafay is focusing on getting the season off to a strong start in the Tour Down Under. He'll be heading to Australia soon to participate in the race. "The season starts now,” concluded Lafay.

Brucegel10-01-2026 - If there is something, knowing cycling it will only come out in a decade. Another oddity is the money angle. Had he wanted to, he could probably have arranged to earn more in the next 2 years than he did in the past.Mistermaumau10-01-2026
- And yet, so many who get money get worried about it so obviously it’s not easy for everyone.Mistermaumau10-01-2026
- Maybe Simon's close bond with his brother made his position untenable, for instance if Visma were planning an unwelcome surprise for UAE.Hills3310-01-2026
- You forgot the tax angle which says quite a lot about people who are already well set up. And he’s got rid of the money hasn’t he, or rather invested it long-term for his family, people who like money spend differently.Mistermaumau10-01-2026

Front24210-01-2026 - Knowing even less about Jonas than they do about Tadej, journalists seem determined to emphasise the differences between them. They all pepper their articles about Jonas with the words family, quiet and candid. Then they have to make Tadej sound the opposite. If Tadej started a family they would be confused.Hills3310-01-2026
- He hung on there, in the tour, hell either sink or swim, let's hope the latter!
