The Race: Rudy Barbier is having a great week. On Sunday, March 13, he won the Paris-Troyes race (being ranked 1.2, we don't cover it). And today, the young man from Picardy won his first 1.1-rated race, today's Cholet-Pays de Loire.
And, interestingly, At Paris-Troyes it was Rudy Barbier 1st and Baptiste Planckaert 2nd. Planckaert was a teammate of Barbier's last year on the Roubaix Lille Metropole team, so they know each other well.
Barbier was also winner of the day's young rider classification.
