Florian Sénéchal hits hard five days before the Tour de France!
Launched on a 240 kilometer circuit in Cholet, the French championships were won on Sunday by the Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl Team runner, who offered himself the sturdy tricolor jersey.
The hole had been made with the rest of the peloton 10 kilometers from the finish, before the decision was decided at five in the final straight.
By resisting the sprint to Anthony Turgis (TotalEnergies), second, the 28-year-old Frenchman succeeds Rémi Cavagna on this course favorable to sprinters.
The title therefore remains the property of Quick-Step.
Triple French champion and big favourite, Arnaud Démare (Groupama-FDJ) finished 6th.
Julian Alaphilippe who wanted to test himself for the Grande Boucle managed a full race.
He was making his comeback two months after his serious fall during Liège-Bastogne-Liège.
