There’s a french song saying: « Trois petits tours et puis s’en vont… », which means they do 3 little laps and then leave, and this was what I did ! Plouay is a race I don’t like at all, especially the last climb on the very big road where you have front wind every year…

This year I was quite good in the first lap, avoiding a crash that split the group, already eliminating a lot of people from the front, was dropped in the second, got nearly back at the end, but just nearly and made a final training lap before quitting the race. Which showed to be quite a wise decision as even the two bigger groups in front of me finished out of time…

Good race for my teammate Natalia Boyarskaia who finished 7th after a courageous counterattack at half distance to the end.
