A spectacular opening at Grillon

The Grand Prix de l'Enclave 2024, a competition successfully organised by Vélo Club Valréas under the aegis of the FSGT, took place in Grillon, in the French department of 84. This opening event, also known as the Grand Prix d'Ouverture - Ets Leclerc, brought together athletes from various federations, including the FSGT, FFC and UFOLEP, as well as juniors. In a spirit of fierce competition but also camaraderie, these riders battled it out on a circuit that was both demanding and captivating.

The course, which was 8km long per lap and mostly flat, provided an interesting challenge for the participants. With a total distance of 88km for peloton 1, 64km for peloton 2 and 45km for peloton 3, the riders were able to test their endurance and race strategy in optimum conditions, thanks to the faultless organisation of Vélo Club Valréas.

Remarkable performance

Riders from the USC Cyclosportif club in Vaison-la-Romaine shone particularly brightly at this event, including Narcisse Matelin, who took first place in his category in peloton 2 for a 64km race. His victory, the fruit of exceptional teamwork and a well-oiled strategy, underlines his talent and unfailing determination. But he wasn't the only one to shine: Enzo, another prominent member of the club, distinguished himself by coming fifth in the Scratch race, confirming the collective strength of the team.

From the start of the race, there was plenty of action with a breakaway of two riders, who were quickly joined by two others, including Narcisse. This leading group fought hard for victory, while the rest of the team controlled the peloton, neutralising any breakaway attempts. This solidarity and strategy were the keys to their success, despite the mechanical incident that prevented Nicolas from finishing the race.

A promising future

This success in the Grand Prix de l'Enclave has set the season off on an extremely positive foot for the USC Cyclosportif de Vaison-la-Romaine. With this winning momentum, the club is already looking ahead to the Grand Prix Yves Jullian de Cavaillon (UFOLEP), scheduled for Sunday 3 March 2024, with ambition and determination.

This fine, close-knit team, full of enthusiasm, continues to inspire its supporters and promises some great breakaways in the forthcoming races. Keep a close eye on their progress, especially on their Facebook page, where humour and a passion for cycling come together in every post.

Come on, USC Vaison la Romaine, continue to thrill us on the cycling roads and fly the colours of your club and your partners. Your team spirit, your passion and your talent are the keys to your future victories.
