At the Faun Ardèche Classic, the leading trio mistakenly took a wrong turn in the final moments, leading to chaos and crashes behind them. Romain Grégoire from Groupama-FDJ stayed on the correct path and claimed victory, as rival riders lost their chance to compete for the finish. This event echoed a recent incident in the Volta ao Algarve, where several riders also veered off course. Grégoire, who had previously made a wrong turn, displayed keen awareness and took advantage of the situation to secure his win.
"They turned right at 350 meters to go when we had already crossed the line three times. I think they were a little lacking in lucidity. Fortunately, I was vigilant. I knew it was straight ahead."
"Honestly, I was at full speed with my heart rate, I followed my teammate Javier [Romo], the motorcycle was close and we followed it without any hesitation. When we turned and I saw the cars, I said to myself 'ah, we made a mistake'."
