Hugo Page (Intermarch\u00e9-Wanty) was third in the hectic sprint finish.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\" aria-hidden=\"true\">&#8220;We thought the breakaway with Noa (Isidore) might go all the way to victory. When we caught them with the peloton in the final, we had to put in a big effort to fight for the sprint with Paul (Lapeira),&#8221; Vendrame explained.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We leave the Tour du Limousin with two stage wins and that\u2019s a good result. It\u2019s also my second victory of the season with the team, so I\u2019m really happy and I hope I\u2019ll have another chance to win before the end of the year.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"elk-results\" class=\"paywall\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-url=\"\" href=\"\" data-hl-processed=\"none\"\/>Results<\/p>\n<p id=\"bf0cc4e3-2b77-4384-bf3f-6299052b72a8\">Results powered by <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/firstcycling.com\/race.php?r=191&amp;y=2025\" target=\"_blank\" data-url=\"https:\/\/firstcycling.com\/race.php?r=191&amp;y=2025\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-hl-processed=\"none\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">FirstCycling<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"newsletter-form__strapline\">The latest race content, interviews, features, reviews and expert buying guides, direct to your inbox!<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"elk-b877e165-4592-441a-a0de-d8ef6d555809\" class=\"paywall\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-url=\"\" href=\"\" data-hl-processed=\"none\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ewen Costiou (Ark\u00e9a-B&amp;B Hotels) won the Tour du Limousin after a breakaway was caught in the final kilometre&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":86256,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[4985,101,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-86255","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-cycling","8":"tag-cycling","9":"tag-sports","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom","12":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/86255","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=86255"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/86255\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/86256"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=86255"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=86255"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=86255"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
