Vansevenant second in the Faun-Ardèche Classic

With Primoz Roglic, Jonas Vingegaard and Julian Alaphilippe, the organization could count on the presence of some toppers in this hilly classic. After the early escapees: Bruno Armirail, Jérémy Cabot and Mathias Le Turnier were picked up, the final erupted, although Alaphilippe and Roglic had already shaken the tree for a while and the peloton had thinned out considerably.

On the Saint Romain de Lerps, 6.3 km at 7%, Sepp Kuss attacked, he was joined by Mauri Vansevenant, Clément Champoussin and Brandon McNulty, among others. The latter did not hesitate and persevered.
