The website is in French.

I chose to keep Grand-Prix de Plouay as the main name, as it has changed and split in many different names and it is a PITA to know what is what.

On Saturday, that’s the Women WT race, that they named the “Lorient Conglomeration classic”. It doesn’t go near Lorient a bit, and there is no conurbation.

Mischa Bredewold 🇳🇱 is the double titleholder.


On Sunday, that’s the Men WT race. It used to be the Grand-Prix de Plouay, but now the Grand-Prix de Plouay is the 1.2 race that takes place on the final circuit between 11 AM and 4 PM, before the main race arrives on the circuit. So they renamed the main race “Brittany classic”.

Last year, M. Hirschi (🇨🇭 UAE) won before P. Magnier (🇫🇷 Soudal-QS) and M. Cort (🇩🇰 Uno-X). Previous winners were V. Madouas (🇫🇷 FDJ) and W. Van Aert (🇧🇪 Jumbo-Visma). Only Cort and Van Aert will be missing this year.

    Mischa Bredewold 🇳🇱 is the double titleholder.

    Now triple.

    During the sprint, M. Vos had taken her over (they were sprinting on different lines); yet Bredewold didn’t give up, pursued her effort and finished before Vos.

    There are often surprising sprints there. It starts with a false-flat going downhill but then the false-flat becomes uphill.

    It was a sprint finish this year. A. De Lie (🇧🇪 Lotto) who won the Tour of Benelux last week confirms that he is back by beating Kooij (🇳🇱 Visma), Jeannière (🇫🇷 Total), Magnier (🇫🇷 Soudal-QS) and Girmay (🇪🇷 Intermarché) after 262 km of race!

    The last breakaway with Madouas (🇫🇷 FDJ), McNulty (🇺🇸 UAE), Barré (🇫🇷 Intermarché) and Van Gils (🇧🇪 Bora) was caught around the flamme rouge.


    the Grand-Prix de Plouay is the 1.2 race that takes place on the final circuit between 11 AM and 4 PM, before the main race arrives on the circuit.

    This one was already a sprint finish, with G. Lonardi (🇮🇹 Polti) beating the two Frenchmen E Houcou from Arkéa (conti) and R. Augé from Nantes.
