“I’m happy to be on the podium after 5 hectic days of racing in such a strong fleet. I’m really satisfied with the start of the season but hungry for more!
Now my sights are fixed on the next race in Hyères, excited to be competing at home and looking forward to pushing even harder and racing well!”
Axel was also on form! Winning 3rd place, the Team ENGIE athlete was the top-ranking Frenchman.
Pierre Le Coq, just outside the Top 10 in IQFoil at the World Cup
The Team ENGIE athlete was placed 13th in this first major international meeting in Palma de Mallorca.
“13th at the finish, so close to the goal of being in the top 10. I’m happy to have made progress, with several rounds at the front, but there were too many blunders at the starting line to keep my performance regular this week! I’m going to work on this.”
