Bryan Coquard wins the Tour de Vendée
Frenchman overtakes Démare and Mozzato in La Roche-sur-Yon
Bryan Coquard (Cofidis) won the reduced bunch sprint at Tour de Vendée. The Frenchman took the win ahead of Arnaud Démare (Groupama-FDJ) and Luca Mozzato (B&B Hotels-KTM) in La Roche-sur-Yon.
A late-race attack from Andrea Mifsud (Nice Métropole Côte d'Azur) in the last 5km saw the Frenchman gain a small lead but it was a short-lived move and the peloton reeled him in with 3.5km out.
Groupama-FDJ led the race into the final 3km with Arkea-Samsic and B&B Hotels-KTM alongside setting up their respective sprinters for the slightly uphill finish, but it was Cofidis' Coquard who got the jump to take the victory.
