Jason Tesson scored TotalEnergies’ first victory of the 2026 season at the Classic Var, the Frenchman outsprinting Tord Gudmestad (Decathlon-CMA CGM) and Rick Pluimers (Tudor) to the line in the third edition of the 1.1 race.
28-year-old Tesson picked up the 10th win of his career in the one-day race, which ran for 176.6km between La Garde and Brignoles. He and his main rivals managed to avoid a crash at the start of the closing sprint, but were challenged by Cofidis, who led it out for Stanisław Aniołkowski.
Earlier in the race, a group of four broke away over the hilly first part of the course. Lucas Bénéteau (St Michel-Preference Home-Auber93) was joined by his teammate Antoine Berger, Jonas Walton (CIC Pro Cycling Academy), and Noah Bögli (Elite Foundations Cycling Team).
