At the start of the Tour du Jura this Saturday, Ewen Costiou is one of the great French satisfactions of the cycling season. At 21, the rider from the Arkéa B&B Hotels team takes on a new dimension.
From this Saturday, it’s time for the Tour du Jura, an event which should not escape French riders. Clément Champoussin, Guillaume Martin and Lenny Martinez are notably there. Among the many French players present, Ewen Costiou will be one to watch closely. This 21-year-old puncher-roller is riding a very good dynamic in 2024.
A second on the Pays de la Loire Tour region
The Brestois won his first professional victory a few weeks ago: a stage of the Pays de la Loire Tour Region. A success reinforced by a second place in the final general classification. “ I finished second in the final general classification, winning my first race among the pros. These are great satisfactions, especially since the course of this event did not necessarily correspond to my qualities. I notice that over the course of the races that I progress in the long efforts and that on the other hand I am a little less “punchy” on steep climbs”underlines the young Breton.
An all-terrain profile
Lucid about his qualities, and the points to improve, Ewen Costiou shines above all with his consistency. 12th in the Tour de La Provence and 13th in the Classic Var, the Brestois is one of the great satisfactions of the Arkéa B&B Hotels team. Second in Paris-Carembert last year for his first professional season, the Breton confirms that he is capable of shining on all terrains. Like for example those in Jura this weekend…
