In stifling heat, Marie Le Net was crowned French champion for the first time in her career, at the end of a team race that she mastered from start to finish. At the finish, she was 39 seconds ahead of her team-mate L\u00e9a Curinier, putting the finishing touches to a fine team effort.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The race was turned on its head at the end of the second lap, with 80 kilometres to go, when Marie decided to dynamite the peloton. Taking Cl\u00e9mence Latimier (Ark\u00e9a-B&amp;B Hotels) and Julie Bego (Cofidis) with her, the Breton gradually built up a significant lead. Joined by three other riders, including L\u00e9a Curinier, the two FDJ-SUEZ representatives found themselves in an ideal position, clearly outnumbered by just one direct competitor.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The gap, which had stretched to 4 minutes, began to close under the impetus of C\u00e9drine Kerbaol (EF Education Oatly) and Aude Biannic (Movistar) at the back. But at the front, the strategy was clear. On the final climbs of Mont des Alouettes, Marie chose her moment: an attack placed just as Julie Bego was taking a feed. The young Cofidis rider was the only one able to follow her at first, but she soon saw L\u00e9a Curinier come back&#8230; and she didn&#8217;t take over.   <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An individual success, a collective victory <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the age of 25, Marie Le Net has achieved the greatest success of her career on the road, after a long career on the track. Moved at the finish, she was quick to point out the crucial role played by her team-mate : <\/p>\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2018I am indebted to you for life\u2019, she said to L\u00e9a Curinier, who came second in the race and played a major role in the team&#8217;s success.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fdj-suez.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/championnat-france-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9430\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fdj-suez.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/championnat-france-980x653.jpg 980w, https:\/\/www.fdj-suez.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/championnat-france-480x320.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This victory is the reward for a perfectly executed strategy, the fruit of a close-knit team.
