The 2007 edition of the GP Ouest-France
was held on September 2 in and around the French
village of Plouay
in Brittany
. Several laps of a circuit were completed for a total of 226 kilometres of racing. Although no significant breakaway was able to last, a late break by Thomas Voeckler
proved decisive. Voekler's remarkable drive kept him just ahead of the onrushing pack of sprinters two seconds later. A native son of France and French hero of the 2004 Tour de France, Voekler's win was very popular with the crowd.
