With thirteen ascents of the Côte de Pouvray, the heat and the wind, the race of the Opens 2 and 3 did not look like a pleasure. From the second round, a group of eleven runners took off and quickly dug the gap. Surprised by this early offensive, Paul Hélion and Maxence Chavanel were slow to react, undoubtedly not measuring the extent of the danger. The two young wolves may have shaken the peloton, nothing was doing it, the gap was going to grow. Chavanel, the first, set foot on the ground and after a last baroud of honor in solo, Hélion imitated his boyfriend a little further.
Acfantan Cueilli at 200iv M from the lights
The leading eleven collaborated perfectly and were definitively sheltered from any return. Maxime Carfantan, who until then always seemed the easiest in the bump, exploded the lead group by attacking several times at the end. He managed to detach himself but was hunted by Loïc Cerfeuillet. The mano has mano between the two men did not miss salt. CERFEUILLET joined Carfantan 200 meters from the finish line, and immediately he distant his opponent. “It feels good to win, Slipped the one who will be 18 years old on May 14. It hasn’t happened to me for three years. And yet Carfantan was strong, but I knew how to surpass myself to get ahead of it. »»
