Bretagne Classic 2020
Bretagne Classic Ouest – France 2020 is a one-day road cycling race that will take place in France on 25 August 2020, as a race class of 1.UWT. This is going to be the 84th edition of Bretagne Classic Ouest – France, and the 35th event of the UCI World Tour 2020.
The race was initially named Grand – Prix de Plouay and was called GP Ouest – France from 1989 to 2015. It was introduced in the inaugural UCI ProTour in 2005, and its successor, the UCI World Tour, in 2011. Besides, it has been called Bretagne Classic Ouest – France since 2016.
The race is usually held in Brittany, France, and begins and ends in the small village in Plouay, in the heartland of French cycling. The course made up eight loops in the backdrop of Brittany, with a challenging 27 km circuit and one 14 km loop. The circuit is recognized for its high attrition rate that includes climbs and technical descents covering a total distance of 247 km (153.5 mi).
The first climb is dealt with almost immediately after the beginning when the race passes the Côte du Lezot, a one-kilometer climb of an average 6 percent gradient. Next is a moderate six-kilometer climb up to the Chapelle Sainte-Anne des Bois, which marks the circuit's halfway point. The race approaches the Côte de Ty-Marrec after a flat section, with a maximum gradient of 10%.
The race finishes with a final 14 km lap, with the last climb of the Côte de Ty-Marrec giving chances to launch attacks or distance sprinters. Often a small number of riders try to stay clear, but they are still trapped in sight of the finish line by the sprinters and their teams.
