From the first kilometers, a group of eight riders (Laurendot, Boscher, Alger, Valide, Nubul, Brasseur Florimond and Labejof), manages to extricate themselves from the peloton and will count 2 minutes and 16 seconds on the peloton. We are then at the 25th km, the leading men are returning from Trois-ilets, they are getting ready to resume the RN5 towards Sainte-Anne.
From the Coteaux roundabout in Sainte-Luce to the entrance to Rivière-Pilote, the gaps are maintained.
Before the Sailor; the reigning Martinique champion, Mickaël Stanislas decided to take things in hand, despite the presence of two of his teammates at the front of the race, but he changed his mind.
From then on, the gaps with the peloton continued to increase and exceeded 4 minutes on the return from Sainte-Anne. In Rivière-Salée, for the actors and observers of the bicycle, the winner of the day is in the group of eight.
Already winner of the event last year, Jordan Labejof shares his experience and wins in the sprint ahead of Kylian Boscher (first hopeful rider) and Edwin Nubul completes the podium.
