The former member of the Cowboys and professor of EPS is having a great start to the season with 4 bouquets including a UCI success on the roads of the Women's Tour.
We start with a jump back! From a family of cyclists, it is at the height of her 29 years that Chloe discovers and integrates the world of professional cycling. She who was last year with the Macadam's Cowboys team, which became Grand-Est - Komugi - La Fabrique, lived a winter disrupted by physical pips. Chloe was therefore unfortunately unable to highlight her experience and expertise at the service of her new teammates. The adventures that were quickly forgotten for the Alsatian runner following her spring performances: "I didn't expect that! I am more than satisfied with my start to the season, whether in terms of form or results” .
