Pre-race
“I have been nine days without cycling following my crash during training in Spain which resulted in a concussion. I started to ride again gradually. I still had headaches at the beginning, which then disappeared gradually, and I started to ride intensively again last week. In any case, if I take part in a race it is with the aim of doing the maximum, otherwise I prefer not to line up at the start”.
The briefing
“The Clasica Almeria is a race that usually ends in a bunch sprint. It is a race with a hilly course, but the teams involved, and in particular those with a sprinter, often do everything possible to ensure that the race ends with a sprint. We have built our team with this in mind, with Nacer Bouhanni making his return to competition on this occasion.
The news
Nacer Bouhanni will ride his first race of the 2022 season at the Clasica Almeria.
The number
Team Arkéa-Samsic will participate in the Clasica Almeria for the second time in its history.
