Emilien Jacquelin, a biathlete who recently transitioned to cycling, did not finish the Coppa Bernocchi, a semi-classic race in Legnano, Italy. The race was won by Noa Isidore, who secured victory in a dramatic sprint finish that included a fall. Jacquelin had already withdrawn before the end of the Coppa Agostoni, another race in the series, which was won by his teammate Paul Lapeira. Jacquelin was one of five riders from the Decathlon-CMA CGM team competing in the 107th edition of the Coppa Bernocchi, which covers 178.1 km. He will continue his autumn racing schedule with the Trois Vallées Varesines, a 196.1 km race on the UCI ProSeries calendar, where he will face top cyclists like Remco Evenepoel and Brandon McNulty. Jacquelin joined the Decathlon-CMA CGM team as a stagiaire, or trainee, for six months. He has been competing in various races, including the Grand Prix cycliste Marius-Vial, where he finished fourth, and the Grand Prix de Cours-la-Ville, where he placed 59th. He is set to compete in the Polynormande on August 16, his first professional race, and the Tour du Limousin, his first multi-stage race. In the Polynormande, he finished 88th, and in the second stage of the Tour du Limousin, he placed 74th. He also took part in the Games of the Mediterranean 2026, finishing 14th in the road race. Jacquelin is currently deciding whether to continue with cycling or return to biathlon for the 2026/2027 season. According to L'Equipe, he will skip the 2026/2027 biathlon season to focus on his cycling career. He has also competed in the Tour de Grande-Bretagne, finishing 93rd in the first stage and 60th in the second. Jacquelin is expected to compete in the Grand Prix de Fourmies and the Grand Prix de Wallonie, though he withdrew from the latter due to a chain drop. He has been selected for the Tour de Grande-Bretagne, his first international race, and is set to take part in the 93rd edition of the Grand Prix de Fourmies. Jacquelin's move to cycling has drawn attention from the biathlon community. Simon Fourcade, a former French biathlon champion, said his absence will be felt in the French team. Others, like Eric Perrot, have praised his decision to pursue a career in cycling. Jacquelin's performance in the Tour du Limousin was noted for his support of teammate Noa Isidore, who won the first stage of the race. His growing presence in the cycling world continues to be watched closely by both fans and fellow athletes.
