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.
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.
Crossing the line 31 seconds later, Sandy Dujardin (Totalenergies) edged out Axel Mariault (CIC U Nantes) to take second. Nicolas Breuillard (St Michel-Preference Home-Auber 93), who initiated the break, was fourth, and Mathis LeBerre (Arkea-B&B Hotels) was fifth. Emilien Jeannière (Totalenergies) led the peloton in, 1:47 in arrears.
