Backaert fifth in Finistère

Frederik Backaert obtained a strong fifth place in Tour du Finistère (15/04, 1.1), the seventh race in Coupe de France. Our rider was attentive in the final of the race. He joined a group of 11 riders with 20km to go in the French one day race. Many French riders (including Pierre Latour, Julien Simon and David Gaudu) were present in the front group. A lot of riders tried to surprise their companions in the final 10 kilometers. Only the 32 year old Julien Loubet succeeded and took the victory in Quimper. Our 27 year old Frederik 'Backy' Backaert managed to obtain a nice fifth place in the sprint for second place. Backaert was the only non-French rider in the top 10.
