Louka Lesueur Picnic PostNL transfer, Digi Mart USA News: Never give up and keep believing in your dreams. That is how the career of Louka Lesueur can be best described.
At 22 years old, the Norman rider has built his entire career in France, far from the radar of the major WorldTour teams.
Lesueur trained with UC Nantes Atlantique as a junior before joining VC Rouen 76 at the espoirs level. Over four years, he progressed from a mid-level rider to French amateur champion, a title he won on June 26.
As a reward, Lesueur has now signed his first professional contract with Picnic PostNL for two seasons. The WorldTour team appears to be struggling, but it continues to attract young talent.
It remains to be seen whether the Frenchman will use the move as a springboard.
In a message on his social media, Lesueur said he is “happy” at the start of a new adventure. “After four magnificent seasons at VC Rouen 76, it is time to open a new chapter.
Victories, a French championship title, memories, and above all people who will have marked far more than my cycling career.” He described these experiences as a valuable foundation that will certainly support him in this next chapter.
