“I would have really wanted to win”. Guillaume Adam was mixed at his descent from the Protocol Podium of the Grand Prix of Sologne des Etangs. The member of VC Rouen 76 took a very good second place, only preceded by Lucas Mainguenaud (see classification), but he will still have to wait to win a first success with the Normandy champion jersey on the back and time. “I would really like to win with the jersey, I still have a month to do it”he notes with Directive.
This Saturday, on the occasion of the second round of the French Cup N1, the victory was played in an imposing escape of sixteen elements, which left at the start of the second hour of the race. “I was surprised that it left with so many guys. When I saw that practically each club was represented, I told myself that there was a good chance that it was going to the end because I was wondering who was going to be able to ride and bring back behind. When entering the circuit, I understood that we were going to play the victory. After, it was quite tense at the end, in the last round”.
“I didn’t want to make the same mistake”
The 23 -year -old athlete had confidence in his speed of speed … nothing more. “In the sprint, I know I’m going quickly, but not very fast either”. At the time of the final packaging on the roads of Neung-sur-Beuvron, in the Loir-et-Cher, Guillaume Adam had in mind his sprint during the Gainsbarre, an event that he likes since he has finished twice in the top 10 in the last two years. “I didn’t want to make the same mistake. The problem is that I did not know Grand-World in the head group”. After launching at 200 meters, he finally saw a swimsuit from the Vendée U over it just before the line.
This is all the same an excellent result against the gratin of the Peloton of the N1. “I had a hard time on the first part of the season. I did not know what was going on but it was not going, I had to rest. It turned out that it was allergies. There, it comes back well since the Tour du Loir-et-Cher”. He now hopes to continue on his momentum during the Saône-et-Loire circuit and the Champagne chrono (French Cup N1), where he should be aligned. Before the big lens of the round of the Channel, “at home”.
