An open race and many absent
The course should not give way to a surprise winner this year. The battle promises to be intense, with the uncertainty about the number of runners who will still be present at the top of Mont des Alouettes after more than 210 kilometers of racing. Among the sprinters capable of playing victory, we find The country (Groupama FDJ), Paul Magnier (Soudal Quick Step), Bryan Coquard (Cofidis) or Clément Prestry (Arkéa B&B Hotels). There Decathlon Ag2r La Mondialeled by the outgoing champion Paul Lapeirawill count on lieutenants as Pierre Gautherat, Dorian godon et Bastien Tronchon To control the race and make the difference. There Total energywith Pierre Latour, Emilien Jeannière et Sandy Dujardinwill also be very active on its land. Other names to follow: Valentin Madouas (Groupama FDJ), Romain Grégoire (Groupama FDJ), Kévin Vauquelin (Arkéa B&B), Alexis Renard (Cofidis). Some French isolated in foreign teams such as Axel Laurance (INEOS Grenadiers), Julien Bernard (Wild-Trek) or Louis Barré (Intermarché-Wanty) could also create a surprise.
Note also that many headliners are absent from this edition, whether due to illness, injuries or simply preferring to go on to prepare for the Tour de France. Among these runners: Julian Alaphilippe (Tudor), Christophe Laporte, Axel Zingle (Visma | Lease a Bike), Benoit Cosnefroy, Aurélien Paret-Peintre (Decathlon AG2R) or Pavel Sivakov (UAE Team Emirates XRG), which announces a French Championship very open.
