The fictitious start is given at 11:45 a.m. from Avenue Anatole Manso, and the official start is at noon from Puy Saint Bonnet, at a place called La Renardier. With an average of 43 km/h, arrival is expected around 4:45 PM.
France 3 Pais de la Loire invites you to watch the race live on pdl.france3.fr from 2:30 p.m. and on air at 3:15 p.m. Commenting, Theory Fourmi, our advisors Kevin Reza and Quentin Carrudell, on motorbikes.
In 2023, the cycling event was renamed Cholet-Pays de la Loire. For the year 2024, it transforms and becomes the “Cholet Agglo Tour”, marking a return to its roots while preserving its classic route. The competition now focuses on the Cholet region, with a route through 24 communes from La Romagne to Lys-Haute-Leon, which has led to its name change.
After opening on January 28 with the victory of Luxembourger Kevin Geniets (GFC) during the GP de la Marseillaise, the calendar accelerates: three rounds take place in four days.
Six rounds take place in March and this French Cup is still popular with young riders. It is a great competition and this month of March will reveal the riders on pole at the end of the season during the finale in La Roche-sur-Yon for the Tour de Vendée.
Four French World Team teams are there as well as the best pro team formations, including Total Energy.You also need to check out the CIC U Nantes-Atlantique runners. We saw Ligerians very aggressive in the various events of the Coupe de France last year.
Every year, like the Tour de Vendée, it is a movement race. Runners have dominated in recent years, but we’re never immune to long-distance breakaways. This happened again on Thursday, during the Danne GP, and a surprise victory for the German Stiemel. If racing conditions favor an escape this morning, because in the last cobbled sector, the collapse of the chasers, including the Swiss Kung, destroyed the potential comeback of the second group.
The results of recent years essentially speak in favor of this hypothesis. Twice, Viviani and Pithi have added their names to the list since 2019. Marc Sarreau was to follow the Classic Loire-Atlantic and Cholet Agglo Tour. But the Groupma-FDJ rider fell to Danine. It will be confiscated.
