Course and favorites
The 85th edition of this race will take place will be drawn as usual around the city of Châteaulin, with 183.1 kilometers on the program divided into three different circuits: two towers of a circuit 22 km, then four Tours of a 20.4 km circuit and finally seven laps of the final circuit of 8.5 km. If the first two circuits have been slightly modified in order to harden the route a little in halfway, with now four ascents of Lead to three, the final circuit remains the same and should as often allow to make differences, with the essential Châteaulin coast (800 meters to 4 %) to be crossed seven times.
A demanding route that regularly smiles on a man in shape, a good puncher and fast in order to be able to settle a small group in the sprint as was the case in the past two years with the victories of Greg Van Avermaed (2023) et Axel Zingle (2024), be strong enough to impose themselves solo as during the five previous editions. The last sprinter to have tamed this test is also called Samuel Dumoulin… In 2016, proof of the difficulty of the layout. And there will be beautiful people at the start to try to succeed Axel Zingleabsent with his new team Visma | Lease a Bikesix WorldTour stables that made the trip this year.
The French Punchers responded with Valentin Madouas (Groupama-FDJ), Benoît Cosnefroy, Paul Lapeira (Decathlon Ag2r La Mondiale), Kévin Vauquelin, Ewen costiou (ARKEA-B&B HOTELS) ou encore Alexandre Delettre (Totalenergies team). But they will not be the only contenders for victory, with runners like Alex Aranburu (COFIDIS) Lukas Kubis (Unibet Tietema Rockets), Guillermo Thomas Silva (Rural Caja – Insurance RGA), Orluis Aular, Iván García Cortina (Movistar), Riley Sheehan, Tom Van Asbroeck (Israel-Premier Tech) or Jenthe Biermans (Arkea-B & B Hotels). In the event of a more or less massive arrival, Phil Bauhaus (Bahrain Victorious) will be a scarecrow with Bryan Coquard (Cefidis).
