Léo Bisiaux on importance of development structures: "You have to take the time to grow and not rush things"
CyclingSunday, 12 November 2023 at 10:00
After his fantastic cyclo-cross season, marked by his World, European and French champion titles, as well as his victory in the general classification of the World Cup, Léo Bisiaux was eagerly awaited to also prove himself on the road in his 2nd year as junior, which he certainly did with overall victories at prestigious races such as Lunigiana and Rüebliland. In an interview with Cyclism'Actu, Bisiaux shares his view on the importance of U23 level for riders' development.
"I think it's important to do at least one season at the development team. You have to take the time to grow and not rush things. It's good to take the time, to continue to progress in training and to take it step by step. To go directly from Juniors to the WorldTour, you have to do 10,000 kilometers more per year and it's not easy. I immediately knew that I had to go first to the U23 team and continue my rise to the highest level."
"Joshua Tarling and I don't have the same profile at all. I think that as a climber, it's a little more complicated to win in the WorldTour than as a time trial specialist. We can see that Jorgen Nordhagen is also going through the development team, that shows that it is important."
"It's clear that being able to achieve results among the U23s shows that you're not just anyone when you reach the pros. It allows you to gain momentum and see how things run among the big guys, which is rather a good thing. Especially with the Conti system, we can compete in a few races with the WorldTeam, so it's very enriching."
