Bretagne Classic - Ouest-France 2026 information
The 95th edition of Bretagne Classic - Ouest-France takes place on Sunday, August 30.
First organised by the Comité des Fêtes de Plouay in 1904, this long-running event is part of the UCI WorldTour.
The rolling route favours punchy riders able to withstand the relentless climbing and still have a powerful sprint for the finish.
In 2024, Marc Hirschi (UAE Team Emirates) leapt away to win ahead of Paul Magnier (Soudal-Quickstep) and Magnus Cort (Uno-X Mobility).
In 2025, Arnaud De Lie (Lotto) timed his sprint perfectly to win ahead of Emilien Jeannière (TotalEnergies) and Olav Kooij (Visma-Lease a Bike), as the sprinters dominated.
Other past winners include Valentin Madouas, Wout van Aert, Benoit Cosnefroy and Michael Matthews.
The start list for the Bretagne Classic - Ouest-France includes all 18 WorldTour teams, as well ProTeams.
