Europcar's Bryan Coquard has won the Paris-Camembert race.
This race in its 75th running, is 210kms long and this year was from Magnanville, in the Yvelines department in the Île-de-France region in north-central France to Vimoutiers.
The race attracted plenty of World Tour teams for this 1.1 event with the likes of British team Team Raleigh also taking part.
Blain, Vermeulen & Jakin launched the first break and were joined by De Pauw and Leonard after fifty kilometres taking a 1.25 lead on Sobrino, who had jumped out of the peloton to chase them and 4.20 on the peloton.
The five escapers still had a lead of 4.40 with 91kms remaining but forty kilometres later, that lead was down to just fifty five seconds.
With the five taken care of, the peloton started to split and for the final twenty kilometres, Pichon and Delaplace were clear, six seconds ahead of Europcar's Alexandra Pichot and ten seconds clear of a group of 28 riders.
Bretagne Seche Enviroment's Anthony Delaplace tried a lone break with fifteen kilometres to go but he was reeled in and a sprint for the line was won by Bryan Coquard of Europcar in 4.41.56, ahead of Samuel Dumoulin of AG2R and Laurent Pichon of FDJ.
Team Raleigh's Evan Oliphant finished 30th with team mate Mark Christian 31st, Ian Wilkinson 57th and Liam Stones 87th.
The other British rider in the race Joe Perrett abandoned.
