The Grand Prix Isbergues (1.1, 19/09), ninth round of the Coupe de France, eventually came down to a bunch sprint on Sunday. Indeed, neither of the threatening weather conditions nor the hilly terrain preceding the local circuit prevented the fast men from fighting for the win in the locality of Pas-de-Calais. After 199 kilometers of classic racing scenario, the Italian Riccardo Minali took ninth place, just in front of his team-mate Baptiste Planckaert, who finished eleventh. By doing so, Minali grabs a top 10 for the eighth time this season, while Planckaert retains his sixth place in the individual standings of the Coupe de France.
