Jenthe Biermans (Arkéa-B&B Hotels) sprinted to victory in the Route Adélie de Vitré, rocketing past the late three-man breakaway to deliver his team's first Coupe de France round of the season.

The Belgian emerged from a group chasing down a trio of escapees: David Gaudu (Groupama-FDJ), Alexandre Delettre (St. Michel-Mavic-Auber 93) and Jordan Labrosse (Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale) to snatch the victory.
