Brief

La Cote Picarde was previously known as Le Tour de La Cote Picarde. In this year's edition, the final sprint was closely contested between Polti's Mauro Zinetti and Elite Amateur Jean-Michel Thilloy (Fra) VC St-Quentin. Thilloy is a well known French elite rider and is 31-years old and was born in Amiens, roughly the same area as the race.

At first it was considered certain that Thilloy had won but when it went to the photo finish, the decision was given to Zinetti by a margin of a few millimetres.
