PREVIEW | Classic Grand Besançon Doubs 2024 - Lenny Martínez and David Gaudu give Groupama holeshot for victory in difficult summit finish

On the 12th of April we have the first of three hilly classics in central France. The Classic Grand Besançon Doubs will be an exciting day of racing which ends in a steep ascent that will provide a lot of spectacle! We preview the race ahead.

The 172-kilometer route will be focused in the final hour and a half of racing. The day is not overly tough, and will have as it's main feature the ascent to the Côte de la Malate in Montfaucon. The riders climb it first with 48 kilometers to go, and then face rolling roads until they climb it again which will then coincide with the finish line. The ascent is 3.8 kilometers long at 9.1%.
