The yellow tunic will not leave the shoulders of Axel Carnier today (Saturday May 27, 2023). After having neutralized his main rivals this morning on the first section, the member of the Pédale d’Or Joséphine widens the gap slightly this afternoon by winning the time trial in Saint Joseph.
•
He won at home with a handful of seconds difference, Axel Carnier of the Pédale d’Or Joséphine was the fastest this afternoon by completing the 7 kilometers of the time trial in 14 minutes and 29 seconds. It’s a victory “in his garden”, on a course he knows well.
I just used the benchmarks I had, because I pass here regularly. Tomorrow is a stage of madness that awaits us. We will fight to the line.
Axel Carnier GPDD yellow jersey interviewed by Guy Albert Maloungilla
This victory this afternoon allows Axel Carnier to keep his yellow jersey with a 10-second gap with Normann Latouche and 13 seconds with Mickaël Stanislas who has also displayed constant form since the start of the season. The member of the JC231 Puget Clecod is already planning for tomorrow (Sunday 27 2023) for the 3rd and last stage. Recovery will be decisive for this runner without a teammate.
Unlike Norman Latouche who benefits from the solid training of Team Energizer at the forefront of the GPDD since the first kilometers.
This day of the Sustainable Development Grand Prix was also marked by the good performance of Christopher Hippolyte of Team Energizer. He won the 1st section of this second stage solo and finished in second position in the time trial this afternoon.
His overall position does not make him a potential winner of the Sustainable Development Grand Prix, but he was the man of the day for this second stage.
Tomorrow, the riders will have 117 kilometers to cover for the third and final stage. With 7 category 3 and 2 ribs, like that of Galochat. Nothing is decided yet. There are three potential winners. Axel Carnier, Normann Latouche and Mikaël Stanislas whose gaps are 10 and 13 seconds. Axel Carnier the yellow jersey and his teammates will have to padlock the peloton tomorrow to finish in yellow at Saint-Joseph.
