Clément Berthet 5th on Stage 9 of the Tour de France at the summit of the Puy de Dôme
In his very first Tour de France, the Jura cyclist—turning 26 on August 2nd—is delivering an incredible performance. He powered his way to 5th place at the summit of the Puy de Dôme this Sunday, July 9th, marking the Tour de France's heroic return to this mythical peak after 35 long years.
Hailing from Longchaumois, Clément Berthet launched his sporting journey blazing down the ski slopes, like any true native of the Jura. From there, he tackled mountain biking, racking up some remarkable feats. But it is road cycling that now fuels his fire, racing with the AG2R CITROËN team.
Back in 2022, he honored us by serving as the ambassador for the inaugural edition of La Transju’ Cyclo.
His 2023 season was already ignited by a 15th-place finish at Paris-Nice, followed by a bold 6th place on home soil at the Classic Grand Besançon Doubs, and again the very next day at the Tour du Jura.
This Sunday, July 9th, at the Tour de France, Clément Berthet broke away early on Stage 9 between Saint-Léonard-de-Noblat and the Puy de Dôme. While victory remained just out of reach, he conquered the mountain to cross the finish line in a brilliant 5th place, just 55 seconds behind the day's victor, Canada's Michael Woods.
