The AG2R La Mondiale team has published its selection of riders for the next two rounds of the Coupe de France: the Grand Prix de Denain (16 April) and the Tour du Finistère (18 April). In addition to the presence of Alexis Gougeard, prominent on the last Paris-Roubaix, or Samuel Dumoulin, winner of the Drôme Classic this year, this race also marks the comeback of Axel Domont, injured since Le Samyn.
In a press release from his team, the Frenchman expressed his apprehension before resuming the competition: "After five fractures of the clavicle, I did not want to fall over unnecessarily and I was a little apprehensive before continuing the races. But I'm happy to return to competition. After my fall, I did three weeks of work on the home trainer, and frankly, it was boring. For ten days I have trained properly on the road and I cannot wait to see what happens. I hope to be at the start of my second Giro in less than a month."
GP de Denain: Gediminas Bagdonas, Maxime Daniel, Axel Domont, Samuel Dumoulin, Quentin Jaurégui, Blel Kadri, Sébastien Turgot, Johan Vansummeren
Tour du Finistère: Gediminas Bagdonas, Maxime Daniel, Axel Domont, Samuel Dumoulin, Alexis Gougeard, Quentin Jaurégui, Pierre Latour
