Cycling full-bodied Tour Bretagne 2020: The Tour de Bretagne, 2020 edition (April 25 - May 1) was unveiled this Monday at the premises of Ouest Boissons in Rennes. Christophe Fossani, president of the organizing committee, has concocted a route that promises to be spectacular.

With six sprint finishes over the seven stages, the 2019 edition had left a lot of people hungry. Listening to feedback, the organizers therefore decided to strengthen the 54th edition. Every day, there will be something for everyone and for a maximum of twists and shows.
A 217 km marathon stage!

From the first day, the intentions will be displayed. The Mûr-de-Bretagne side will be swallowed just before arriving at Allineuc, a stage from Cambout. Direction Sud-Finistère and Rosporden for a second hilly stage in the black mountains from Corlay.

Then head to Morbihan by demanding small roads and an arrival on the Brandivy circuit. After a passage (undoubtedly) less sporting between Ploeren and Louisfert (4th stage), the "final sprint" promises to be hot! Between Châteaubriant and Boisgervilly, the peloton will have to go down 217 km, the longest stage in the history of the event.

And it will be necessary to have recovered well for, from Quédillac, to leave in the direction of Fougères, towards a final close to that of the stage of the Tour de France 2013 won by a certain Julian Alaphilippe, one of the many talents passed by the Tour de Brittany.

Finally, the 7th and last day, between Guitté and Dinan, will offer an ideal playing field to put a maximum of suspense until the finish line.

Such a program should appeal to teams - the set will be revealed in March - who can say that they have been spoiled for this new opus!
