Frédéric Guesdon (Française des Jeux) has won the Tro Bro Leon race in the sprint while racing on Fusion 2 Road Tubeless tires.

To better roll on the dirt and graveled roads of Brittany, all of the Française des Jeux used Fusion 2 Tubeless tires during the Tro Bro Leon which is known as the Paris Roubaix of Brittany. Conditions were especially wet and muddy on the narrow roads in which the race is held.

Many of the competing teams had multiple punctures. Andrezj Pozak, one of the FDJ’s team mechanics said the race was without mechanical incidents. “The only stess was the final palpitation of Frédéric Guesdon.” The FDJ team finished with three riders in the top 10 finishers. Winner Frédéric Guesdon ; Lilian Jégou and Yauheni Hutarovich finished in 4th and 10th places respectively.

It’s been the 4th 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).
