Team Visma | Lease a Bike had a safe day at the Giro d'Italia today but outside of it, they were in the heat of the action and racking up victories. Whilst Wout Van Aert returned to racing on won the Marly Grav race; at the
Tro-Bro Léon, it was the team's new signing
Filippo Fiorelli who raised his arms for the most presitigous win of his career.
The one-day race is one of the most iconic in the French calendar, featuring plenty off-road sectors in which the race is decided. It is a mix between a road and gravel race, part of a very packed part of the calendar in France. Yesterday, Benoît Cosnefroy won the GP du Morbihan for UAE Team Emirates - XRG and this Sunday, Visma struck back by adding an equally important victory to their 2026 list.
The 202-kilometer race start and finished in the town of Lannilis and throughout the race there were plenty of world-class classics specialists in the front groups. But it is a race that also features several crashes and mechanicals, which often change the outcome. Defending champion Bastien Tronchon was amongst the most active, but ultimately it was a race in which a few riders from the peloton managed to bridge across to a leading group that included major threats such as Per Strand Hagenes and Paul Lapeira.
Decathlon and Visma had the numbers, and in the end the Dutch team put them to good use. An attack with 3 kilometers to go saw the Italian, one of the team's signings this winter, take the win. He narrowly avoided the chasing group, where Alexis Renard sprinted to second place, followed by Lewis Askey.
Fiorelli is scheduled to race the Vuelta a España later in the year where he is expected to be a quality domestique for the support of Wout Van Aert and Matthew Brennan, who are similar types of riders.
