Paris-Tours: Christophe Laporte will get higher of Mathias Vacek in two-up dash at mud-soaked basic

Christophe Laporte (Visma-Lease a Bike) gained a cagey two-up dash on the shut of a moist, mud-soaked 118th version of Paris-Tours.

The Frenchman beat breakaway companion Mathias Vacek (Lidl-Trek) on the Avenue de Grammont, whereas Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin-Deceuninck) was better of a lowered bunch of sprinters, who didn’t reel within the main duo within the closing phases.

Laporte and Vacek piggybacked onto the day’s authentic breakaway with 33km left to race, outlasting teammates Edoardo Affini (Visma-Lease a Bike) and Mads Pedersen (Lidl-Trek) to contest the end 21 seconds of the peloton.
