Tour du Limousin 2023 🇫🇷 – Stage 1 – Rilhac-Rancon – Bénévent L’Abbaye : 165,7 km
Established in 1968, the Tour du Limousin is a four-day stage race that is held annually in the Limousin region of southwest-central France, this year taking place from August 15-18. Its varied parcours have suited a wide array of different riders over the years, but typically it favours rouleurs with a fast-finishing kick. The format of the race has remained largely the same since its inaugural edition, with four road stages in and around the Limousin region. None of these stages feature any mountains, but they do traverse some of the rolling hills which characterise this region of France. It’s these hills which routinely dictate the general classification year on year.
Romain Grégoire (Groupama-FDJ) won stage 1 of the Tour du Limousin-Périgord with a solo attack on the final climb with less than 18km to go.
From a chase group of three riders, Benoît Cosnefroy (AG2R Citroën Team) secured second place, while Michael Storer (Groupama-FDJ) outsprinted Lorenzo Rota (Intermarché-Circus-Wanty) for third.
The 20-year-old French rider scored his second stage win of the year, using a victory on stage 2 of 4 Jours de Dunkerque to secure the GC at that spring 2.Pro contest.
