Dwars door Vlaanderen starts with minutes silence

Jean-Christophe Péraud will lead AG2R-La Mondiale at the inaugural Clasica Corsica on March 26 before he begins the defence of his Critérium International title two days later. Péraud won the 2014 race, beating Mathias Frank (IAM Cycling) by a single second.
"Since I turned professional in 2010, I love this race. This year, in spite of the bib number one, I have less pressure and my goal is to continue to improve my form. I will benefit from the numerous climbs of Corsica. Last stage finish at the top Col de l’Ospedale and it is a good opportunity to evaluate what I am able to do before Vuelta a Pais Vasco."
Supporting Péraud at both races will be his new teammate Jan Bakelants, Julien Berard, Patrick Gretsch, Alexis Vuillermoz, while Christophe Riblon will ride just Critérium International.
