The ARKEA-B&B HOTELS Women's training will open the ball on Saturday at the 4 Days of Plouay, a Breton weekend in which 100% of the teams managed by Emmanuel Hubert will be present.

The Classic Lorient Agglomération will be my comeback race after the Kreiz Breizh Elites. I did the reconnaissance of the online section, it looks tough! The organizers have made the course borrow all the surrounding bumps to enhance the layout of their race, and that makes it very demanding. It's a race that I competed in and won (in 2021) in the juniors. This weekend will mark my first participation in the Elites. The girls of the ARKEA-B&B HOTELS team had a magnificent Tour de France. This gives confidence to the whole group, even to those who didn't take part, and shows us all that it is possible

Gael Le Bellec

Directeur sportif

The Classic Lorient Agglomération is a somewhat special race with different scenarios each year. We often see co-leaders or lieutenants present for the win. The road section is made up of small roads, it is very winding. It is done by positioning, by attrition and the blows often come at the top of the hills when it settles a little. The riders will have to be present and vigilant about this. The ARKEA-B&B HOTELS Women team arrives with positive certainties following the Tour de France Femmes. Maeva Squiban and Lotte Claes will be expected of course but we must not forget that it is a Women's World Tour event. The riders may have unlocked a mental barrier at the Tour, now they must continue to believe in it. We must continue to race with humility, be opportunistic and perhaps take advantage of a possible marking between the big teams
