Nacer Bouhanni (born 25 July 1990) is a French professional racing cyclist, who rides for UCI ProTeam Cofidis.[1] A sprinter, he was the winner of the 2012 French National Road Race Championships.[2] Although his first Grand Tour was in 2012, his real breakthrough was in 2014 when he won three stages and the points classification in the Giro d'Italia. In August 2014 it was announced that Bouhanni would leave FDJ and join Cofidis on a two-year deal from 2015.[3]
Career
2014
The 2014 season was very successful for Bouhanni, with numerous wins including three victories in the Giro d'Italia as well as earning the points jersey in that race.[4] In the 2014 Vuelta a España, Bouhanni won two mass sprint, Stage 2 and Stage 8. The latter saw a battle occur in the crosswinds and Bouhanni managed to stay with the first group on the road to win the controversial sprint ahead of Michael Matthews and Peter Sagan.[5] After withdrawing from the Vuelta, Bouhanni gave an interview where he was critical of the FDJ.fr management. As a response, Marc Madiot sidelined him for the remainder of the season, at the end of which Bouhanni left the team for Cofidis.[6]
2015
He had to wait until April to get his first victory for his new team on the opening stage of the Circuit de la Sarthe in a bunch kick as the breakaway was caught inside the final kilometer.[7] He also won the last stage of the event.[8] A little later on that month, he won the Grand Prix de Denain for the second year in a row.[9] He won his team's first UCI World Tour race of the season on stage 2 of the Critérium du Dauphiné in a bunch kick.[10] He repeated his winning ways on Stage 4 after a hectic finale which saw a flurry of attacks.[11] Bouhanni was forced to withdraw from the 2015 Tour de France after a crash at the 12 km mark of Stage 5.[12]
