The Rhone runner won this Sunday in the Herbiers this Sunday, after a controlled final sprint, and became the first Lyon to win the national title since Henri Anglade in 1965.
It took sixty years for a Rhodanian to revive the tricolor jersey. Dorian Godon, 29, won this Sunday, June 30 on the Vendée roads at the top of Mont des Alouettes.
The Decathlon-AG2R La Mondiale training runner has ahead of Roman Sprint Grégoire (Groupama-FDJ) and Kévin Vauquelin (Arkéa-B & B Hotels), in a race marked by an overwhelming heat and a constant intensity.
Carried by a lot of teamwork, notably from Paul Seixas and Nicolas Prodhomme, the Puncher Lyonnais was able to resist the multiple attacks and the digital domination of Groupama-FDJ. “I couldn’t see it very clear, I was pushed by the public”, He said on arrival, smiling.
This historical title puts an end to a six decades of Rhodanian cycling. A capital feat for Godon, who will go on vacation with the blue-white-red jersey on the shoulders.
