Laurent Brochard (Bouygues Telecom) has become the first rider to win Paris-Camembert three times, winning the 66th edition of the race in a solo breakaway. Brochard had a seven second advantage over Brett Lancaster (Ceramica Panaria) and Sandy Casar (Française des Jeux), who led the peloton home for the minor placings. Brochard's win gave him enough points to take over the leadership of the Coupe de France, with today's race being the fourth round of the 15 round series.

Paris-Camembert was also characterised by the presence of Lance Armstrong (Discovery Channel), who was fairly active in the race and finished 24th in the peloton. Armstrong is on the way back up after illness forced him to drop out of Paris-Nice at the beginning of the month.
