Kloe Saugrain currently races for the French club team Avesnois, but she is truly made for the Flemish classics. She also knows the Flemish cobblestones well, as from her hometown of Neuville-En-Ferrain, near Tourcoing, she can cross into Belgium in no time. "I often train there and really enjoy it," says Saugrain. "Joining a Belgian team is a logical step for me."
Last season, Kloe Saugrain finished second in the Boucles Guégonnaises and third in the BayWa.re Classique Féminine. She describes herself as a sprinter-puncher. "Though it's certainly too early to put myself into a specific category, I mainly want to keep learning. But a race like Paris-Roubaix is already high on my wishlist."
Sports manager Kurt Van de Wouwer is pleased with Kloe Saugrain’s arrival. "In terms of her racing program, she will get what she's looking for with us, Flemish races suit her well. She's still young and will be able to grow with us. Saugrain definitely deserves her place on our team. We always search for new young talent, so these new signing fits perfectly into this story."
