The third edition of the Classic Var ended in a sprint finish in Brignoles on Saturday, February 21, 2026. Stanislaw Aniolkowski took 12th place.


As expected, the third edition of the Classic Var between La Garde and Brignoles ended in a sprint finish after the 176.6 km scheduled for the race. Despite the hilly course and attempts by breakaway riders, the race was controlled by teams aiming to put their sprinters in the best possible position. At the finish, a mass sprint decided the outcome among the fastest riders in the peloton. Launched by Jenthe Biermans, Stanislaw Aniolkowski took 12th place.

The reaction

Evaldas Siskevicius, team DS: "Today we had a plan to get someone in the breakaway or, failing that, to go for the sprint with Stanislaw Aniolkowski. That's what we managed to do. Unfortunately, Stan revealed himself a little too early and the sprint was really into the wind. He finished 12th, but it should be noted that Jenthe Biermans did a remarkable job today leading the sprint. Tomorrow we'll try to do better in the Tour des Alpes-Maritimes."
