Alex Aranburu wins the Brittany Classic
The Guipuzcoan cyclist of the Cofidis team Alex Aranburu won the 90th edition of the Brittany Classicon Sunday, entering the finish line alone.
The Ezkio cyclist launched the attack two kilometres from the finish line to finish only 228 kilometres from Plouay, 4 seconds ahead of theDanish Alexander Kamp (Uno-X Mobility) and 10 seconds ahead of theItalian Alessandro Borgo (Bahrain Victorious).
The race has begun with attempts to escape on a day marked by rain and wind, with Visma and Decathlon setting the pace for the platoon.
Afall in the platoon has affected several runners, including Paul Magnier, one of the favorites to win the race, who has had to leave the race.
The climb to Cote de Ty Marrecera has broken the race, and the platoon has been losing members, with 10 runners, including Aranburu and Ion Izagirre , but the latter has had technical problems in the last few miles.
Aranburu attacked and, although Kamp tried to react, he was unable to capture the Basque.
