A typically spirited French national road race saw a calm and controlled team performance pay off for Groupama-FDJ United, as Romain Grégoire took the title for the first time in his career. Part of the final selection of six who fought it out in the latter stages of the race, Paul Lapeira captured silver for Decathlon CMA CGM, while Joris Delbove (TotalEnergies) rounded out the podium.
A slightly shortened race route in La Tour-du-Pins, in the Isère region of the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, did not diminish the magnitude of the task at hand for the French elite men.
