Romain Grégoire of Groupama-FDJ United captures the Faun Drôme Classic with a thrilling uphill sprint, defeating Matteo Jorgenson from Visma-Lease a Bike. The duo broke away early, leading a 17-kilometre charge, while the chasing peloton caught up just 500 metres from the finish. Lenny Martinez of Bahrain Victorious finishes third, repeating his position from Saturday's Ardèche Classic. Jorgenson crosses the line frustrated, missing a crucial win for his struggling team.
The race unfolds under sunny skies over a 189-kilometre circuit around Étoile-sur-Rhône. Early escapees, including Kenny Molly and Arnaud Tendon, gain a substantial lead but are reeled in as the race intensifies. Mattias Skjelmose’s late attack creates chaos, but Grégoire proves too strong in the final push.
