Nicolas Prodhomme (Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale Team) attacked from the break in the final nine kilometres to win La Polynormande solo. The Frenchman had time to celebrate his sixth win of the season, banging on his chest as he crossed the finish line, a remarkable turnaround for the 28-year-old, who entered 2025 without a single professional victory.

Riding at the back of the five-rider group, Prodhomme made his move on the Côte de la Pigeonnière and quickly established a gap of 14 seconds in the final run for home. Meanwhile, the chase could not get organised as the reduced peloton was out of sight.
