Jason Tesson is off and running with a win on the second day of his 2023 season.
La Tropicale Amissa Bongo is a multi stage race in Africa where a number of French teams kick off their campaigns.
Loyal domestique Geoffrey Soupe won stage one for Total Energies. A lovely pay off for all his hard work.
The second stage went to a sprint finish which Tesson (from the photos) won with ease to get his maiden win on a new team.
Although I think we all agree the Auber-St Michel kit is better than his new Total Energies one!
