After the 1-2 in the Men’s Under 23 World Championship, the French team showed what great riders they have coming through the ranks with Pierre-Henri Lecuisinier winning the Junior Men’s RR title in a thrilling finish.
Part of a six man break that got away with just a few laps to go, with Belgium, Holland and France each having two riders, Lecuisinier has his French teammate Guillaume Martin to thank for chasing down Belgian Leemans who attacked in the final K.
With the peloton breathing down their necks only 10 or so seconds behind and gaining rapidly, Leemans started to fade and the Dutchman Steven Lammertink went too early while Lecuisinier stayed in control and then, at the right moment as Lammertink struggled, the French rider exploded into action and sprinted clear of Degreve of Belgium and Lammertink to win France’s second title of the championship.
The early stages of the race were dominated by a two up break with Gougeard (Fra) and Myngheer (Bel) never really opening up a big gap on the ever active peloton. Behind them, the British riders were constantly in the action with Jon Dibben making it into a good move only for it to be brought back. That was as good as it got for the Brits, who like the Italians, Germans and others, were caught out by the six up break that stayed away.
