The Belgian Amaury Capiot wins the Marseillaise in the sprint

Under the sun, braving a light mistral on arrival, it was the Belgian Amaury Capiot who won the 44th Grand Prix Cycliste la Marseillaise. Victory in the sprint in front of the Stade Vélodrome for Arkea runner Samsic. It settles Mads Pedersen the Dane and the Spaniard Francisco Galvan. Capiot owes a lot to his teammate Maxime Bouet. The Provençal from Bouches-du-Rhône sacrificed himself in the final to take over the leading man.
