Romain Gregoire (Groupama-Fdj) wins the Faun Ardeche Classic (1.Pro), a 165km French classic.

The race exploded on the climb of Saint Romain de Lerps , with Fortunato 's attack gaining an advantage over a group of about ten men.

The Astana rider is caught first by Mas and then, in the finale, by this very group that is playing for the victory in the sprint. Some men, including Ayuso and Mcnulty, take the wrong path in the last few hundred meters, so Gregoire takes advantage of this and beats Brenner and Fortunato.
