First run in 1984 this year sees the 41st edition of this popular race that presents a unique challenge to the riders as the tackle surfaces of all descriptions. Aside from its novel course another quirk that sets the event apart is the prize for winning, as both the first placed rider and the first local rider each receive a live piglet!
This year’s race starts in Le Carpont Plouguin and ends 204 kilometres later in the town of Lannilis after crossing a multitude of small hills and a total of 29 sectors of the famous unpaved surfaces.
Favourites to take the win are the in form Benoît Cosnefroy (Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale Team) and returning from illness Arnaud De Lie (Lotto Dstny).Together with Bryan Coquard (Cofidis), John Degenkolb (Team dsm-firmenich PostNL), Anthony Turgis (TotalEnergies) and Lewis Askey (Groupama - FDJ) we are set for an enthralling and unpredictable race.
A 50% chance of rain means the ‘ribinou’ could turn to rivers of mud later on to make the race even more of a spectacle!

Simon Warren has been obsessed with cycling since the summer of 1989 after watching Greg Lemond battle Laurent Fignon in the Tour de France. Although not having what it took to beat the best, he found his forte was racing up hills and so began his fascination with steep roads. This resulted in his 2010’s best-selling 100 Greatest Cycling Climbs, followed to date by 14 more guides to vertical pain. Covering the British Isles, Belgium, France, Italy and Spain he has been riding and racing up hills and mountains for over 30 years now. He hosts talks, guides rides, has written columns for magazines and in 2020 released his first book of cycling routes, RIDE BRITAIN. Simon splits his time between working as a graphic designer and running his 100 Climbs brand and lives in Sheffield on the edge of the Peak District with his wife and two children.
