It is this Thursday, June 26, that the French Road Cycling Championships 2025organized in the department of Vendée, and more precisely herbarium, famous for his Nations chrono who concludes the cycling season each year. And that's good, cEtte edition 2025 will start as usual with the time trial events. AClose that women opened the ball in the early afternoon, their male counterparts will take over in stride to determine the new French champions of the elite and amateur categories. This year, it is a route of 26.5 kilometers that the runners will have to face, with a departure from the town hall of the Herbiers and an arrival at the top of Mont des Alouettes, mounted in the opposite direction compared to the arrival of the online race. The first part is rather flat, before a second half more hilly with almost 400 meters of elevation on the menu.

Armirail, Cavagna, Latour and Thomas for a 3rd title … Vauquelin and Seixas on the lookout
It will therefore be necessary to be a very solid roller to hope to succeed Bruno Armirail (Decathlon Ag2r La Mondiale). In addition to the title holder, winner in 2022 and 2024, two other runners also won two white-white-red jerseys over the last six editions and hope to take the ascendant with a 3rd coronation: Sleepless kissing (Groupama-FDJ, champion of France in 2020 and 2023) and Benjamin Thomas (Cofidis, French champion in 2019 and 2021). But this dominant trio for 6 years could well be dethroned by the youth and the vice-champion of France in title, Kévin Vauquelin (Arkéa-B & B Hotels). Passed three seconds from happiness last year, the Norman wants to take revenge and arrives in great shape after his superb 2nd place on the Switzerland Tour.
Also pay attention to the nugget of tricolor cycling Paul Seixas (Decathlon Ag2r La Mondiale), impressive in this exercise during the last Dauphiné criterium And simply world junior champion in the discipline. Former double champion of France in 2017 and 2018, Pierre Latour (Totalnergies) will also be monitored after finding the way to success and a little confidence in recent weeks. Finally, last outsider to quote but not the least, Thibault Guernalec (Arkéa-B & B Hotels) intends to confirm its 2024 podium after several leading results in time this year.
