Under the guidance of coach Gilles Suarez, the regional committee selected two strong all-around male riders, Jeremy Deloumeaux and Benjamin Le Ny, and on the women\u2019s side, the standout athlete of the past two seasons, B\u00e9r\u00e9nice Paul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The competition was divided into two events: the time trial and the road race. Last season, Paul had excelled in both, taking gold in the time trial and bronze in the road race.<br>However, things did not go as expected in Belize. The Guadeloupean rider delivered an underwhelming performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t know what happened. I couldn\u2019t hit my target wattage\u2014I completely missed my effort,\u201d she said at the end of the race.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Eager to redeem herself, she lined up for the road race with renewed motivation. But her reputation worked against her: no team was willing to collaborate and form a breakaway. Forced to wait for the right opportunity, she made a costly mistake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhen I saw that nobody wanted to work together, I thought I chose the right moment to ease off and take on some food, but that\u2019s exactly when a group went off the front. Luckily, I noticed quickly and chased, but I spent a lot of energy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Paul crossed the finish line in fourth place, narrowly missing the podium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No Better Outcome for the Men<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On paper, Benjamin Le Ny and J\u00e9r\u00e9my Deloumeaux were well suited to the terrain in Belize. Both strong riders, they were considered capable of working together to create a breakaway. Yet once again, things did not unfold as planned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"471\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/centrocaribesports.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/11\/5-471x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-342\" srcset=\"https:\/\/centrocaribesports.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/11\/5-471x1024.jpeg 471w, https:\/\/centrocaribesports.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/11\/5-138x300.jpeg 138w, https:\/\/centrocaribesports.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/11\/5-707x1536.jpeg 707w, https:\/\/centrocaribesports.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/11\/5-1200x2609.jpeg 1200w, https:\/\/centrocaribesports.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/11\/5.jpeg 736w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 471px) 100vw, 471px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Like Paul, Benjamin was looking to rebound after being disqualified in the time trial.<br>Focused and alert, he responded to the first decisive move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI tried to follow every attack. Four of us went off the front, and I didn\u2019t pull so J\u00e9r\u00e9my could come back. Then a large group caught up, and after looking back I realized J\u00e9r\u00e9my wasn\u2019t there. At that point, I decided to save energy for a possible sprint finish.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With seven kilometers to go, Le Ny made his move and bridged up in an effort to secure at least a bronze medal. His strategy paid off, and he crossed the line behind Belizean rider Oscar Quiroz and Dominican rider Germoso Rudy Alexander, who took the win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Complications Beyond Performance<br>While the Guadeloupean squad did everything they could to bring home a medal, their efforts were also hindered by logistical issues, including problems with bikes and overall internal organization.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Earlier in October, Guadeloupe sent a mixed squad to compete in the Caribbean Championships in Belize.
