This weekend, nine riders of Tormans Cyclo Cross Team will battle for the national titles in the U23 and Elite categories in six different countries. On Saturday, the championships of Belgium (Women), France and Luxembourg are scheduled. The next day, the male representant will battle for the titels in Belgium, the United Kingdom, The Netherlands and in Switzerland, where Kevin Kuhn will defend his title.
Thomas Mein, Marie Schreiber, Théo Thomas and Corné van Kessel will finally have another opportunity to race for the national title after last year’s cancellations because of the pandemic, or a collarbone fracture in case of Théo Thomas. The Frenchman was two times the runner up in the junior category and dreams about conquering the tricolored jersey in the U23 category in the Val de Souchez park in Liévin.
« I am looking forward to the French championships with a lot of enthusiasm. I feel very good and will travel from my residence in Geel to Liévin, just across the Belgian border, with the desire to conquer the tricolore. This event is marked in my agenda for a long time already, especially since I wasn’t able to participate last year because of an injury. I performed well in several races this season, I am thinking about my top 10 in the World Cup in Namur for example, and I am hoping for the same legs on Saturday! »
