After finishing sixth in the most recent edition, the Morbihan-based squad now aims to break into the top five of the N2 Coupe de France des Clubs.
La Petite Reine du Loch, a Morbihan cycling team competing in N2, has publicly declared its ambitions for the seasons ahead. Sixth in the latest Coupe de France des Clubs at the second national level, the Breton outfit now intends to take the next step and target a place in the top five at the 2027 edition.
This intermediate ranking, which rewards consistency across the entire competition, is an important benchmark for a club in this category. Finishing among the six strongest teams in the discipline reflects a collective capable of making its mark across varied races, from road events to more technical courses. For a regional squad, this result provides a solid foundation to build upon.
Moving from sixth to fifth may appear a modest gap on paper, but it demands greater consistency and results across a larger number of events. The Coupe de France des Clubs indeed rewards teams that can score points repeatedly, rather than those banking everything on a single victory. The staff will therefore need to focus on preparation, race management and the complementarity between riders.
Setting a clear, quantified target also helps structure the season. It shapes race selection, the distribution of efforts among riders and any potential recruitment. The club's leadership appears to have opted for measured progress, building on existing gains rather than promising a spectacular breakthrough.
Still, competition in N2 is particularly fierce, with numerous teams capable of contesting the top places. A top-five finish cannot be decreed in advance and will depend on the development of each squad, any injuries and form on the day. The season ahead will show whether the ambition declared will translate into results on the road.
