Boucles de l'Aulne - Châteaulin

The Boucles de l'Aulne, a French Cup race, is the quintessential Breton event of late spring. The circuits shrink as the race progresses, with the Menez Querc'h as the only categorised climb and a recurring feature throughout the first six laps.

The opening two laps of the 33 km circuit and the four that follow on a shorter 20.4 km loop give way to four laps of the 8.5 km urban circuit, with the côte de Châteaulin (800 m at 4%) appearing in every one as the final obstacle before the finish.
