Former omnium world champion Thomas Boudat (Europcar) proved that he has the potential to become a great road rider when he won the inaugural edition of the Classica Corsica. After a strong trio had been brought back with 2km to go, it came down to a bunch sprint where the young Frenchman managed to beat Shane Archbold (Bora-Argon 18) and Daniele Ratto (Unitedhealthcare) into the minor podium positions.
With Bryan Coquard, Europcar have managed to take an excellent track talent and turn him into a great sprinter on the road. Prior to this season, they decided to try to repeat the success when they signed a contract with 2014 omnium world champion Thomas Boudat.
The 21-year-old Frenchman has had a slow start to his first year in the pro ranks as he has still been busy on the track but now he is ready to fully devote himself to the road. Today he proved that he has the skills to emulate Coquard when he won the inaugural edition of the Classica Corsica.
