As is often the case, the young people were the most reactive at the start, Alan Guezingar (VS Quimper) and Robin Premel (AC Gouesnou) leading in the first lap with Tony Périou in their wake. But the champion of Brittany wasted no time in taking control. “After the first passage through the sandbox, I preferred to isolate myself so as not to be too bothered during the race. Once alone with a twenty-second lead, I managed my effort so as not to hit it too hard,” commented the winner who mainly had in mind the UCI race this Saturday in Ouistreham. “I'm going there to find out where I am at the national level a week before the Coupe de France in Pierric (44). I hope at least in the Top 10.”
Nice comeback from Nicolas David
Behind the fight for second place was good, it was ultimately Nicolas David (CC Ergué-Gabéric) who achieved the best end of the race after having been pushed back to eighth place at the start. “I always have a little trouble at the start but I get better as the laps go by. I'm happy because on this technical and fast circuit I was able to catch up with the young people” smiled the local, good second at 36'' from Périou.
Victor Dréano (VCP Lorient) completed the podium just ahead of the two hopefuls from VS Quimper, Alan Guezingar and Malo Kermorgant, who were decided in the photo finish after a great sprint.
On the women's side, Laura Porhel (VCP Loudéac) was the best ahead of Enora Aveline (CC Bourg-Blanc). Junior Baptiste Samson (EC Plestin) also dominated his category by appearing in the Top 8 among the elites.
