Lenny Martínez is the winner of the newly-created
Classic Var. The Groupama-FDJ rider took the victory over
Tobias Johannessen, who built the winning gap but then lost it on the line due to an early celebration.
The French race finished atop Mont Faron. Johannessen entered the final meters in front and celebrated. Seemingly he pedaled slowly afterwards in belief that the finish line was right ahead but miscalculated the arrival. Martínez went through
Romain Bardet - who finished third - in a dash to the line and ended up taking a surreal victory.
