Jan Bakelants won the award for most aggressive rider at the Classic Loire-Atlantique (1.1, 2/10) as a result of his breakaway in the first race half. The Belgian rider won the first two KOM sprints and was part of a thirteen rider group until he crashed on the wet and slippery roads. He eventually took 15th place in this thirteenth race of the French Cup, just like one day before in Vitré. Frenchman Alan Riou won.
