Sunday June 29, The herbaria and the legendary Mont des Alouettes will host the online race of French Elite Men Championships. A day carved for strong, strategists … and perhaps a youth ready to shake up the hierarchy. At the end of 231 usingthe successor (or not) of Paul Lapeira
will raise his arms at the top.
The course; Repetition, tension and natural selection
14 16.5 kilometers loops around herbaria : a nervous format, without respite. Each round includes a climb to Mont des Alouettes (2.2 km at 4.7 %), a ramp known to blow up the thighs and certainties. In total, more than 3,000 meters of elevation gain are to swallow. It is not a mountain race, but a wear race. A terrain conducive to resistant summering, the daring, and those who have kept juice for the last round.

They don’t (yet) have a tricolor jersey on their shoulders, but everyone looks at them:
Kévin Vauquelin

Paul Magnier (Soudal–Quick-Step) : 20 years, plume to resell and already results in the pros. Its acceleration can explode a group.
Paul Seixas

Nicolas Prodhomme
(Decathlon AG2R) : The man in the form of the moment. Winner of the Route d’Occitanie – CIC With authority, he proved that he could dominate hard races. He will have a blow to play … even a jersey to take.
