Eugenia Bujak (BTC City Ljubljana) took out a photo finish sprint victory in the penultimate round of the UCI Women's WorldTour, the GP de Plouay-Bretagne. The Polish rider topped Italian champion Elena Cecchini (Canyon-SRAM) and Joelle Numainville (Cervelo-Bigla) to the line.
Megan Guarnier (Boels Dolmans) was fifth and has sealed the overall victory in the Women's WorldTour as no rider can surpass her point total. The series' best young rider Kasia Niewiadoma (Rabo Liv) was fourth and will also win that classification when the WWT wraps up on September 11 at the Madrid Challenge by La Vuelta.
The action heated up as a lead group of 15 riders entered the 13.9km circuit together for the final lap, when Leah Kirchmann (Liv-Plantur) launched an attack that lasted nearly 10km.

She was reeled ahead of the steep Cote de Ty Marrec and a group of six riders - Guarnier, Niewiadoma, Numainville, Katrin Garfoot (Orica-AIS), Elisa Longo Borghini (Wiggle-High5) and Alena Amialiusik (Canyon-SRAM) took the lead, but when Guarnier was tailed off, the cooperation in the group evaporated.
Alé Cipollini led the chase, bringing Bujak along with them, and joined the leaders in the final kilometer.
