Here it is, the .Pro race across the farm tracks of Brittany.
If I trust the weather forecast, this year will be muddy as well.
The course if made of a big loop, starting inland, then closer to the shores at it comes back towards the final circuit in Lannilis. The race is 200 km long, including 34 km of unpaved road.
Due to crashes and punctures, the race can be pretty random. It often smiles upon a sprinter-classicman who survived inside a tiny group of less than 5 or 10 riders. But last year, Tronchon (π«π· Decathlon) managed to win despite a series of various setbacks (punctures, taking the wrong way...)
He'll be back this year under the GFDJ jersey, even though his start of season hasn't been great so far. Cosnefroy (π«π· UAE) will be another favourite, together with a few British riders, Venturini (π«π· Unibet) and the usual Uno-X outsiders.
