In the 2025 Tro-Bro Léon, held under significantly wet conditions, Decathlon AG2R teammates Bastien Tronchon and Pierre Gautheret secured a commanding 1-2 finish. The race, characterized by its muddy terrain, saw Tronchon finish first, 19 seconds ahead of Valentin Madouas of Groupama-FDJ, who claimed third after a fierce sprint with Anthony Turgis from TotalEnergies. The duo's triumph was solidified when they joined forces to overcome a crash involving competitor Fredrik Dversnes, showcasing both teamwork and tenacity under challenging circumstances.
Gautheret, third in 2024, and his teammate Tronchon bridged up to a solo attacker Fredrik Dversnes (Uno-X Mobility), with six kilometres to go and continued on when the Norwegian crashed on a wet roundabout.
After getting a gap to a chasing group, the teammates pushed on the finish line, with Tronchon, who had been aggressive in the 203.8km race, shook his teammate's hand and crossed the line first, 19 seconds ahead of the third place finisher.
Valentin Madouas (Groupama-FDJ) outsprinted Anthony Turgis (TotalEnergies) to round out the podium after a rain-soaked, epic edition of the race on the Brittany farm tracks.
Dversnes held on for fifth place.
