The 213-kilometer long classic wasn't too hard but it featured several hills which were enough to create a selection that would end up battling for the race win. 11 years after his one and only win as a professional rider, Anthony Delaplace was in the leading group and launched a fierce attack inside the final 1.5 kilometers.
It was one timed to perfection, as hesitation in the chasing group allowed him to build a gap that he had the legs to keep. The Arkéa rider took an emotional win, beating TotalEnergie's
Valentin Ferron and B&B Hotels-KTM's Thibault Ferasse who completed the podium.
