2009 French Road Cycling Cup

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 2009 French Road Cycling Cup was the 18th edition of the French Road Cycling Cup. The 2009 calendar saw a reduction in events from 14 to 11, with the Tour du Haut Var, the Grand Prix de Rennes and Paris–Bourges losing their places on the calendar. The defending champion was Jérôme Pineau, who won the series for Bouygues Télécom but moved on to the Belgian team Quick-Step, and so did not feature much in the series. French rider Jimmy Casper of Besson Chaussures–Sojasun won the series, having led it throughout and winning three races.
