“I want to spend a new course with the Conti”
“After stopping the triathlon, I especially did mountain biking and cyclo-cross. I only got on the road seriously that since my first junior year. I always liked the three disciplines, but as I went along, it turned out that I preferred the road”said Blanc. “I have learned a lot and progress in recent years, especially by joining the team's junior program. I really discovered what road cycling was, it was two years rich in apprenticeship and evolution. I want to spend a new course with the Conti. I am especially satisfied with my regularity. There are not many races where I performed less.”
“I was lucky to be selected in the junior program, and it went really well so far. We are super well supervised and I have fun with the team on the races, on the internships, so I really want to continue with it and to pass a new course with the Conti. It is a process that has proven itself, and it makes you want to follow this path. With the Conti, I would like to continue to progress, in the past two years, Races! then the goal will be to cross the other CAP, that of the Conti to the WorldTour.he continues. “What I prefer, in any case, are the long climbs. I think I am rather a climber, but thanks to my past in the cyclo-cross and mountain biking, I am also quite versatile.”
