If last year the continuous rain and a small temperature had accompanied the runners, this year sun and 25 ° were there.
80 runners made up the peloton with beautiful individuals which promised a very disputed race on a Newlook course traced by Jean Paul Séaut the winner of the 1983 edition.
Bravo to the order service managed by Jean Paul Séault with around fifty volunteers at the crossroads, 2 bikers in the gendarmerie and a dozen others.
Partners it takes to constitute the necessary budget for such an organization, the JSA of President Philippe Le Guen knows how to do it, Spirulin and Orpi were highly underway.
It is the mayor of Saint Astier who released the peloton….

The grouping took place shortly before Chantérac.
Under the action of Gabriel Peyencet the peloton stretched again…
Approaching Saint Aquilin Léo Casado, Gabriel Peyencet and Lucas Delaby (winner 2024) attacked, joined after a good chase by Mathieu Dupin and Antonin Boissière.
This breakaway of 5 was gone, passed Mensignac with 1 minute ahead of a still well -grouped peloton.
The infernal rhythm was going to be harmful to Lucas Delaby first, then Mathieu Dupin and finally Théo Casado as the final circuit approaches.
Despite the reaction of Pierre Mathieu Pellier and Clément Barthe the return was impossible….
It was left for a against the watch which did not stop intensity … The kilometers passing the seconds, then the minutes accused to exceed 2 minutes at the entrance to the final circuit.
