The Dutch team caused the decision on the last climb of the course (1.2 km at 6%), 6 kilometers from the finish.

“There were three of us in the final, it's incredible, the work we did paid off, welcomed the winner of the day.

Wout told me 1 km [from the finish] that it was for me today, it's really a nice gift.

The Czech Zdenek Stybar was the only one to keep in touch before letting go at the top of the hill.

Place in the Beauce

It was Frenchman Pierre Latour (TotalEnergies) who took fourth place, at the forefront of the peloton, about twenty seconds behind, at the end of the 159.8 kilometres.

On Monday, the second stage (out of eight) heads due south across the Beauce plain to connect Auffargis (Yvelines) to Orléans on a 159.2 kilometer course, flat and exposed to the wind.
