The Race: Alexis Gougeard (Ag2r) rode solo over the final kilometers, holding off a determined chase by his former breakaway companions.
L'Equipe, noting that the young Norman had been in a break for more than 180 kilometers said, " Alexis Gougard has guts." This is Gougeard's first year as a pro and his first professional victory (he won the prologue of the Tour de l'Avenir last year). Chapeau!
