After Paris-Nice last week, this weekend we'll see the usual duo of one day French races: the Classic Loire Atlantique on Saturday and Cholet-Pays de Loire on Sunday, respectively 2nd and 3rd race of the Coupe de France PMU which the first mentioned integrated last year.

In this article you'll find all details of these two races: the Classic Loire Atlantique, organised around La Haye-Fouassière, at about 15 kilometers south-east of Nantes, and Cholet-Pays de Loire which forms a lap around Cholet.

This weekend, velowire.com will be present in these two races and you'll thus find on this website all details, photos and results!

The race route of the third race of the Coupe de France PMU 2013 is quite similar to last year's but it takes slighty different routes at some points (for a distance of 206 km this year [compared to 199 in 2012]) and some of the hills which form the Challenge des 10 bosses have also been modified. The most important climbs are still hill number 1, the Côte du Cimetière, and the forelast one (number 9), the Côte de la Tessoualle. The feeding zone will be between Chaudron-en-Mauges and Botz-en-Mauges.
