Looks like Demare is the big favourite, unless the others manage to make it a very hard race.
Demare wants to make the race hard himself! He attacks on the penultimate hill, only Koretzky able to follow so far! Calmejane tries to join them!
And it’s those three that reach the flamme rouge and the final hill together, the rest of the peloton seems to be too far away to come back now! Demare obviously the favourite, but Koretzky and Calmejane got a nice kick as well!
The Puma rider might have made the race too hard for himself, as Koretzky is victorious! Calmejane joins them on the podium.

Time trial
France is a nation with some strong time trialists, Viennet the top favourite.
Disappointing seventh for Lecuisinier, whereas it’s silver for Zara boys Cosnefroy and Thomas. Nobody able to beat top favourite Viennet though.
