With its final sprint the Grand Prix de Plumelec is a race, which not only serves as an indication of the riders’ form prior to the Critérium Dauphiné, it is also cut out for the qualities of riders such as Samuel Dumoulin.

Third in 2006, second in 2012, the puncheur finally imposed his stamp on the race Saturday. Atop the côete Cadoudal, he beat Anthony Geslin (FDJ) and Julien Simon (Sojasun). This is his second win of the season after he won the fifth stage of the Etoile de Bessèges earlier in the season and he has also delivered promising results in the Paris-Nice and the Volta a Catalunya.
