Breton hope Halléguen surprises European champion

Mathieu Halléguen from the Breton amateur team Côtes d'Armor-Maître Jacques has claimed his first international win by crossing the line of Paris-Tours five seconds ahead of his breakaway companions. He preceded European champion Kris Boeckmans from Davo-Lotto-Davitamon and his teammate Nicolas David, who is another hope of French cycling hailing from Brittany.

"This is simply the best win of my career," said Halléguen who celebrated his 21st birthday today. He's the son of Jean-Pierre Halléguen who was a very dedicated local rider in the west of France.
