“Strade Bianche is the race of my dreams” - Bastien Tronchon looking forward to racing in Tuscany
Cycling
Now in his second season as a fully fledged professional rider, Bastien Tronchon is looking to take another step forward in his career ahead of his first WorldTour one-day race of the season at Strade Bianche this weekend.
Tronchon has already started the 2024 season strongly, with a second place finish at the Clásica Jaén and a victory in the youth classification at the Tour des Alpes Maritimes. In his most recent race at the Faun Drôme Classic, the Frenchman finished in sixth place and was part of the winning move that made it to the finish, just missing out on a podium finish in the uphill sprint to the line.
Following on from that result, Tronchon is very excited heading into this weekend, as he said in an interview ahead of the race that “Strade Bianche is the race of my dreams. I'm going to participate in it for the first time, so I'm very happy and I can't wait to discover it”.
He will form part of a strong Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale lineup that includes the likes of Benoît Cosnefroy and Nans Peters, along with recent Trofeo Laigueglia runner-up Andrea Vendrame.

- Look at what Froome’s won since his last TdF, stop denying there is still more than possible one outcome to the future.Mistermaumau21-12-2024

- Exactly. Remco won 3 WT races/stages last year compared to Pogocar's 19. Remco's single stage win in last years TdF earned him a meager 12 seconds over Pogocar who shellac'd him by 9 minutes in GC.Sweep21-12-2024
- Fortunately and as you point out, more than one strategy is possible and worth trying and I’m sure all concerned riders are well informed and counselled on this subject and don’t need such basic personal advice through media from an outsider.Mistermaumau21-12-2024
- The main SPOTY award is "decided" by public vote but the BBC "expert panel" decide who you can choose from, that choice has an equal split of genders and is focussed on the sports BBC show and a disabled athlete. Oh yea the ubiquitous "Pub Games" candidate there too, Darts and Snooker are not sports. The other awards are decided by the "Expert Panel" again it's about the sports BBC show, cycling has had it. Cav got his for his years and achievements in the sport, not just that 35th TDF win. Unless the BBC get access to Pro Cycling it will never feature "adequately" on SPOTYslappers6621-12-2024

- Avoiding him is a good strategy, you get more wins and then you can compete in the TDF relatively relaxed. Pit yourself against Pogi and not only there will be no wins, it will be considerable mental setbackabstractengineer21-12-2024
