The GP de Plouay is closing in on 25 years of racing, which makes it one of the longest running major races in the women's cycling calendar. The lumpy Brittany parcours has favoured climbers and puncheurs over the years, depending on the course layout.

One of the major stage races, surprisingly given the climbing it was a race that neither Anna van der Breggen nor Annemiek van Vleuten ever actually won.
