Preview

Jean Floc'h Mantes has dominated the French amateur scene so far this year with ex Crédit Agricole pro Frédéric Delalande as its captain. This year's Ruban is expected to be his race, but some opposition can of course be expected. Stéphane Conan in the Brittany selection might me the toughest man to beat. The cyclists will ride around 1200 kilometres in nine stages over seven days, the queen stage being the seventh when the Côte de Cadoual will be climbed ten times.
