Overshadowed by Vuelta a Espana, the French WorldTour one-day Bretagne Classic will take place this Sunday. The 250-kilometer long race is famously known for being completely unpredictable, with different ridertypes winning every edition.

When looking for favourites, you need a rider who is strong in short hills and ideally packs a strong punch. INEOS brings one such man in Tom Pidcock. The Olympic MTB champion, as you would expect, excels in both areas that seem to be key to success on the circuit in Plouay.

In his support will ride the former time trial world champion Tobias Foss, fellow Brit countrymen Ben Swift, Connor Swift and Ben Turner and reliable domestique Salvatore Puccio. Rounding off the selection for Sunday will be Magnus Sheffield, who showed solid form at the recent Tour of Pologne and could be a wild card coming into the French classic.
