PROS – Bretagne Classic in Plouay: the course and the start list

The Bretagne Classic 2023 (GP de Plouay) will take place on Sunday, September 3, covering a distance of 258 km (a 246.3 km loop + an 11.7 km lap) with an elevation gain of 4300 m. This World Tour event brings together most of the world’s best riders not competing in the Vuelta, with the exception of Wout van Aert, the defending champion. Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin-Deceuninck) will officially debut his world champion’s jersey, supported by Tour de France green jersey winner Jasper Philipsen. He will face one of his fiercest rivals from the World Championships, Mads Pedersen (Lidl-Trek). Finally, Julian Alaphilippe (Soudal Quick-Step), Benoît Cosnefroy (AG2R Citroën), Christophe Laporte (Jumbo-Visma), Warren Barguil (Arkea-Samsic), Valentin Madouas, and David Gaudu (Groupama-FDJ) will represent France’s best chances.
