The Arkéa-Samsic driver escaped two kilometers before the finish from a leading group of five riders. The Frenchman stood his ground and traditionally receives a box with the well-known white blue cheese in his body weight: 65 kilos of Camembert!
For Delaplace it is his first win in more than ten years. The 32-year-old rider is the fourteenth French winner in a row of the semi-classic.
