Interview Eugénie Duval
In her 9th year with FDJ-Suez, she booked her biggest result in her carreer. She sprinted for the victory at the track of Roubaix. The experienced road captain usually guides the classic squad and serves her leaders in the biggest races. Next year, Eugénie Duval will do again what she's good at and she hopes to taste the victory herself one time too. An interview with one of the most loyal captains in the peloton.
This year, you sprinted to victory on the track of Roubaix. How did you experience it?
Yes, there were a lot of emotions. It wasn't the scenario I'd imagined, but it was a lot of fun and I hope I can do it again.
In previous years, you've taken part in all the major races, but not yet in the Tour de France. Are you dreaming of taking part there too?
Yes, of course, it's a race I'd like to do.
You've now completed your ninth season in cycling. Have there been many changes over the years?
Yes, women's cycling has come a long way in recent years and it's continuing to develop.
Professionalisation is a big step and something that was hard to believe a few years ago.
How do you feel about this season?
There have been some good things and some not-so-good things.
What are your goals for next year?
To win a race and take part in the Tour de France.
There's a lot of talent in the team. Do you enjoy sharing your experience with them?
Yes, and I get a lot from them too.
What was the best organised race you've done in your career?
I think that the races in England (Women's tour, Ride London) are very well organised.
What would you like to see for cycling in the coming years?
That women's cycling continues to develop, whether through new organisations or through continuing it's mediation.
