After a surprise win from Auber 93's Jason Tesson on stage 1, the Boucles de la Mayenne was taken over by the major teams with Benjamin Thomas (Cofidis) speeding to the stage win in Pré-en-Pail-Saint-Samson after the peloton blew apart in a technical, hilly finale.

Benoit Cosnefroy (AG2R Citroën) held on for second from a small group, with Alex Aranburu (Movistar) and Finn Fisher-Black (UAE Team Emirates) behind.
