Chartres > Tours 214km
The 118th edition of this grand, old race. Since the introduction of the gravel back in 2018, there’s only been one sprint finish, which was when Démare won in 2022. The rest has either been won be a solo rider, or from a small group sprint. It doesn’t look the hardest race in the world, but the distance, time of year, and punctures all play their part in making this a tough race for sprint teams to control. What will happen this year?
