The fifth edition of the Colnago Gran Fondo Provence Occitane saw team Prizm Racing claim the entire men’s gran fondo podium on the 155 km course — including 2,300 metres of climbing— from Parc Saint-Nabor in Cornillon.
Baptiste Lombardi, 27, took the win in 3:53:57.5, with teammate Arthur Blanc, 27, and Louen Coiquaud, 20, right behind to complete a Prizm Racing sweep. European gran fondo champion Frederic Glorieux, 45, was fourth, trailing by twenty minutes.
All three riders took off from the gun and never looked back on a demanding route featuring Mont Bouquet, Serre de Tourre, the Gorges de la Cèze, and a passage through Vallon Pont d’Arc.
In the women’s gran fondo, Jeanne Collonge of Stade Français Triathlon rode a commanding race, finishing in 4:39:37.7 to win by nearly four minutes over Laurence Reviglio, who produced an impressive result in the 50+ category. Céline Le Pecheur (Team TCDV) completed the podium.
The mediofondo — 115 km and 1,590 metres of climbing — saw a tight men’s finish. Anthony Maupetit of Nîmes Cyclisme edged out Léo Philibert (Prizm Racing, again) and Fabien Volet of OCC Antibes, the three separated by just 1.6 seconds. Lucile Bellelle of Lyon Sprint Évolution dominated the women’s mediofondo, finishing over 16 minutes clear of runner-up Delphine Reinert.
Prizm Racing is a performance-focused French cyclosportive team already showcasing teamwork, ability and top results — a mature display from young riders who look set to be a force throughout 2026.
