The last 20K leg of Paris Colmar is supposed to be a friendly group stroll like the last leg of the Tour de France, but this year the Russian Osipov had only 7 minutes over the first Frenchman at Kaisersberg and had to make a race of it. In fact he gained a minute or two and finished under 60 hours (59:12 for 471.5K).
The Ukranian lady who did well last year never mounted a challenge, and Varin held off the other French lady to win in 41:38 (for 316.8K) but again only 1:37 ahead.
Only 5 women finished. The American Attitas DNF'd at 226K.
On to the Tour de Romandie in August, where Hong Kong will have a team.
