Podium of last stage

Championships of France in Sedan

Leboucher did not say its last word

Day before...

The hyperactive double world champion of cyclo-cross (2002 and 2004) would like to add in the Ardennes a fourth title to its national collection in the ploughings (2000-2001-2003). I love running and I always believe winning, claims that which has not been gifted by three blue-white-red skirts for three years. I am not out of pressure. It is Maryline Salvetat the girl to defeat " understanding the she dominated the beginning of season, but Laurence Leboucher does not formalize herself therefore. Hardest with it dice the departure will be to roll. Afterwards, all is possible. Physically, tactically and technically I know that I am in.
Psychologically the member of UV Fresnoise remains a model for all these young ladies. Sarthoise already took a lead in the circuit of Sedan, at the time of a stage of the national challenge. The layout is demanding, with its coast out of bituminous mix and its accentuated cants I hope that the ground will remain cold. If I have the legs in good shape in the first lap, I would be reassured. But I am not any more afraid. For more, a championship, it is the occasion to give everything i have got. And I do not like to regret. My career soon will stop, I do not want of it...  "Before thinking of another life and at the time when the French Federation of cycling counts on it, Laurence Leboucher always wants to have fun. Malicious with its adversaries and sponsors in the heart.

The following day...

Laurence and Maryline

In very good shape at the national challenge (prize winner of the National Challenge with two victories) like international (number 4 UCI ranked), Maryline Salvetat (VSLL Castrate) is announced like the large favorite one with its succession. But one should not sell the skin of the bear before to have killed him, and the female race will point out it to us.

Contrary to the scenarios of the last stages of the National Challenge, Laurence Leboucher (Ten Tusscher) opposes a resistance to the champion outgoing France. Together Salvetat and Leboucher outdistanced their challengers easily but do not succeed in deciding who should win during the six laps of circuit. This palpitating duel is forwarded to a decisive sprint. Salvetat and Leboucher are aware and preserve of it in the optics of the sprint. Unfortunately, Maryline Salvetat exposes with 100 meters of the line and sees to fly away the victory, which returns to Laurence Leboucher. Sarthoise, which disputed there its last Championship of France, is withdrawn with the honors. She precedes Maryline Salvetat and Nadia Triquet (VC Moyenmoutier). What to inflate its ambitions at three weeks of the World ones.
