“I remember the race well, he continues. “We were there for fifteen days. The Argentina fans are so nice. South America is like that. They love motorsport. They are very passionate for it and support all the riders regardless of where they are from.” Renet has since hung up his professional racing boots and now prefers to watch the action unfold from the side-lines, but the 6DAYS® will always hold dear to him. With last year’s race held in France, it was enough to lure him out of retirement and compete in the Club Team Award alongside long-time friends Antoine Meo and Christophe Nambotin. “It was super nice to return to the 6DAYS® last year. It was unplanned as I wasn’t supposed to race, and it came together at the last minute. “But returning to the track with my old teammates and friends Antoine Meo and Christophe Nambotin was special. Adding in that it was a home race made for such a fun week. We shared a lot of nice moments with fans and friends.” Always hoping to see another French victory in Argentina, Pela feels Great Britain, as the defending champions, could be the nation to beat. “The result in Argentina is tough to call. On paper there are a lot of good teams. Naturally I want to see France succeed. But I think Great Britain will be strong. It would be a nice story to see France win again.” |
