At the end of the two days of racing, Laurent Néror wins the Fred Culé Memorial. During this last stage, the Madinina Bikers rider fought a battle with Emile Démazy (CCV) over several kilometres. It was he who won on the finish line, in front of the Team Fewoss Crédit Mutuel Garage Premier headquarters at Le Robert.
I thank Emile for accompanying me throughout the race. I heard the public insulting me, but I didn’t attack them in the hill. I continued my effort. I whipped today. I doubted, but I told myself no, I worked too much for it and I have to go all out.
