Sam Bennett vince a La Butte de Montaigu e consolida il primato in classifica generale. Gran numero dell'irlandese della Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale nella terza tappa del Région Pays de la Loire Tour, la Tiercé-Hambers da 166 km con arrivo esplosivo in salita. Bennett è stato protagonista di una finale pazzesco, che lo ha costretto a superare i suoi limiti al traguardo dove ha superato il tedesco Henri Uhlig (Alpecin Deceuninck) e il francese Ewen Costiou dell'Arkea B&B.

La fuga di giornata è stata promossa da Henri-François Renard-Haquin (Wagner Bazin) Paul Hennequin (Euskaltel) Matisse Julien (CIC U Nantes) Alexander Konijn (Nice Cote d'Azur) e Christian Van Rees (Picnic Development) neutralizzata sulla terza delle cinque ascese alla cappella del Montaigu. Lì la corsa si è animata con l'attacco di Vincent Bodet (Picnic Development) ripreso a 13 km dalla conclusione da uno scatenato Vauquelin, che ha portato via un drappello di una dozzina di corridori tra cui il leader Bennett. Finale a scatti e controscatti con Cavagna, Latour, Delettre, Van Der Tuuk, Thomas e Papon tra i più vivaci. Poi ripresi tutti fino all'epilogo descritto in apertura.
