David Gaudu is back. Hit in the right hand after a fall during the 2nd stage of the Tour of the Basque Country on April 2, the Frenchman is participating this Friday in the Classic Grand Besançon Doubs.
Leader of the Groupama-FDJ team, where we will also find the young nugget Lenny Martinez, the Breton hopes to regain his health before continuing with the Tour du Jura on Saturday and, above all, the Flèche Wallonne and Liège-Bastogne- Liège next week.
His main competition may be on his own team. Winner of the Classic Var and the Trofeo Laigueglia this year, and best young rider of the Gran Camino and the Tour of Catalonia, Lenny Martinez is in dazzling form and could shine in the last climb of the day’s event, 3 long .8 km (9.1% average slope).
Remember that he is living his last season in the French team, before certainly joining Bahrain-Victorious.
Felix Gall, Michael Woods, Cristian Rodriguez and Guillaume Martin are also among the favorites for this race between Besançon and Montfaucon.
The Classic Grand Besançon Doubs can be followed this Friday from 1:25 p.m. on La Chaîne L’Équipe.
