Antoine L’Hote (Decathlon CMA CGM) won the final stage of the Pays de la Loire Tour and with it the overall title after attacking 23km from the finish of the 179.5km stage to Le Mans.

The 20-year-old dropped his breakaway companions Sam Maisonobe (Cofidis) and Tobias Svarre (Uno-X Mobility) on the hilly local circuit to go it alone into the last of five laps.

Behind L’Hote, race leader and stage 3 winner Alexander Kamp (Uno-X Mobility) led the chase, attacking with 6.5km to go and taking Corbin Strong (NSN), Clément Venturini (Unibet Rose Rockets), and Quinten Hermans (Pinarello-Q36.5) with him.

“I don’t think even I realise it,” L’Hote told L’Equipe TV after his win. “ I felt from the start that I had the legs, but to do this today… I’m savouring it.

“I feel like it was meant to be because people have been telling me since December that I’m going to be playing a significant role in the Pays de la Loire region. My first professional victory in my first professional year, it’s just too emotional.”
