Française des Jeux’ Frédéric Guesdon Wins “Paris Roubaix of Brittany”
Finistère, Bretagne - Former Paris-Roubaix Champion Frédéric Guesdon piloted his Française des Jeux’ Hutchinson Fusion 2 Road Tubeless-equipped bike to victory at the 25th Tro- Bro-Leon, held in Brittany, France.
Conditions for last Sunday’s race were treacherous, with rain creating mud on the gravel and pave’ sections of the course, and slick roads on the twisting paved sections of the 193.1 kilometer event.
TRIPLE COMPOUND
The complete Française des Jeux team competed using Hutchiinson Road Tubeless tires featuring a triple compound design for varying road conditions.
“The Road Tubeless tires were perfect for this race,” stated Guesdon. “They are fast and forgiving on the cobbles, and smooth and confident on the road. They definitely contributed to this victory.”
FLAT FREE
While other teams suffered numerous flat tires, Française des Jeux ran flat-free from start to finish. The FDJ team finished with three riders in the top ten. Winner Frédéric Guesdon, and Lilian Jégou and Yauheni Hutarovich in 4th and 10th places respectively.
A STRING OF VICTORIES
This marks the fourth victory for Fusion 2 Road Tubeless this season after the success of Phillipe Gilbert (Het Volk, Grand Prix Samyn) and Yauheni Hutarovich (2nd stage of the Tour des Flandres Occidentales and the overall final classification).
