The day before Tro Bro Léon, we are already in Brittany for another .Pro classic, which Cosnefroy🇫🇷 won last year for the 3^rd^ time. He'll be there again, this time under the colours of UAE and not AG2R any more.

As you can see, most of the distance is made in a circuit with 2 variants.

I don't think there was so little action in the previous years. UAE, Decathlon and Uno-X locked the race – more by numbing the peloton than by pulling hard or accelerating. Beside the little early breakaway of 3, there was basically only a little solo by a Burgos (?), a group of 9 who stopped relaying as soon as they got a gap of 50 m (only one Visma and like 2 others riders (NSN + ?) wanted to relay, the UAE, the Decathlon, and the Uno-X rider refused), and a solo by one Lucky Sport rider.

And then a crash in the final climb when all riders suddenly wanted to be at the front. There was ample room on the right of the room, but they were all trying to ride up by the left of the road. I said to my TV "if they continue, they will land on the grass". They kept doing it again and again, until 3 or 4 of them ended up in the meadow below the road.

Cosnefroy (🇫🇷 UAE) wins for the 4^th^ time with a tiny margin over Isidore (🇫🇷 Decathlon). The first 7 seven positions are occupied by French riders! Uno-X failed hard compared to the attitude they showed during the race, they end up after the 15^th^ position.

On the French TV, for many laps, the common thread of the race comments (together with some attention from camera bike) was "is Gaudu still hanging to the bunch?" 😆 Jeesus... and indeed he was struggling to follow Conti riders (and finished behind 4 Nice and 4 Lucky Sport riders for example).
