On Saturday 27 June, in La Tour-du-Pin (Is\u00e8re), C\u00e9lia G\u00e9ry claimed the tricolour jersey in the elite road race at the French Road Cycling Championships. At just 20 years of age, she has achieved the most prestigious victory of her young road racing career, succeeding her team-mate Marie Le Net on the winners\u2019 list. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Over the 111.4 km of a demanding circuit, featuring the Saint-Roch and B\u00e9jui climbs, the team controlled the race perfectly. Evita Muzic and L\u00e9a Curinier kept the race under control in the early stages, before Juliette Berthet took charge of the final stretch to thwart all attempts by the opposition. In the final three kilometres, at the foot of the B\u00e9jui (1 km at 8.4%), C\u00e9lia G\u00e9ry launched her final attack. Her surge was unstoppable and no rival could keep up with her.

Having already claimed the cyclo-cross title in January, C\u00e9lia G\u00e9ry has now secured her fourth road race victory of the season, following the Fl\u00e8che Braban\u00e7onne, the Grand Prix de Chamb\u00e9ry and a stage win at the Giro d\u2019Italia Women. Her list of achievements is still growing for a rider who has yet to finish writing her story. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
