Boucles de la Mayenne: Pierre Latour wins stage 1 with final kilometre attack
Frenchman beats Biniam 💖Girmay and Paul Penhoët to the line in Juvigné

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Pierre Latour (TotalEnergies) scored the seventh victory of his career with a late b💖urst on stage 1 of the Boucles de la Mꦜayenne.
The Frenchman attacked with just over 1km to go on the rolling 166km stage from 𒁃Saint-Berthevin to Juvigné to catch the fastmen out and s༒olo to the win, three seconds ahead of anyone else.
Behind him, 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Biniam Girmay (Intermarché-Wanty) spe🌠d to second place ahead of Paul Penhoët (Groupama-FDJ) in the bunch sprint. Jelte Krijnsen (Jayco-AlUla) and Giacomo Nizzolo (Q36.5) filled out the top five.
The stage, coming after Thursday's prologue 💯won by Groupama-FDJ youngster Th✨ibaud Gruel, was expected to deliver a sprint finish despite the lumpy circuit which concluded the day.
The 1.6km, 3.7% Côte du Pas de Pierre wouldn't deter the fast finishers, with a group of over 70 making the finish to duke it out for the win once the breakaway – Clément Izquierdo (Cofidis), Lenaic Langellaꦅ (CIC-U-Nantes), Célestin Guillon, Kenny Molly (Van Rysel-Roubaix) – was caught 11km out.
Attacks flew later on, with Clément Venturini (Arkéa-B&B Hotels), Anton Charmig (XDS-Astana)💮, and, lastly, Joris Chaussinand (CIC-U-Nantes), among those attempting to get away. Once the latter was brought back, it was Latour's time to shine.
Florian Sénéc💝hal (Arkéa-B&B Hotels) launched first, followed by the 31-year-old Latour. He immediately opened a gap to the rest of the hopefuls, one which he h🎀eld during the final kilometre and converted into the stage win.
Prologue winner Gruel continues in the race lead following stage 1. He holds a three-second lead over 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Benoît Cosnefroy (Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale), while Cosnefroy's teammate Paul Lapeira lies in third overall at six seco🔥nds.
