The race:
Paris-Camembert Lepetit is a single day race held in March or April in Normandy, in northeast France.
It is one of the oldest bicycle races, the first edition being held in 1906 (though many don't consider this edition as part of the race history). Then it was known as Paris-Vimoutiers. Since 1942 it has been named Paris-Camembert Lepetit.
It is considered a demanding race with about seven climbs that have 9% to 17% slopes.
Because it is usually run at the same time as the big northern European classics, Paris-Camembert has a tendency to attract a mostly French peloton.
The UCI classed it as a 1.1 race in 2005 and made it part of the Europe Tour.
