David Gaudu (Groupama-FDJ) claimed victory at the Tour du Jura Cycliste with a rasping attack in the final kilometre of the summit finish at Mont Poupet. It was the Frenchman’s first win since he landed a stage of the Critérium du Dauphiné almost two years ago.
The race was always likely to come down to a skirmish on the short, sharp climb to the finish, and Gaudu proved the strongest at the end of a spirited contest on Mont Poupet. Jordan Jegat (TotalEnergies) made a late surge to claim second place, while Guillaume Martin (Cofidis), so generous in his efforts, had to settle for third.
