(HC), France
Stage 1 results
60th edition: May 7 - May 11, 2014
Back to 2014 4 Days of Dunkirk |
Wednesday, May 7: Stage 1, Dunkerque - Coudekerque Banche, 162.9 km
The Race: FDJ made sure their sprinter Arnaud Demare was in position to win the fist stage of Four Days of Dunkirk. It was a windy day with two ascents of Mont Cassel, but FDJ kept the break attempts on a short leash. That didn't keep Sylvain Chavanel from giving it a good go in the late kilometers. But it was no use. It was big sprint and Arnaud Demare is enjoying scintillating form.
Demare, overall winner of the 2013 edition with three stage wins, took not only the first stage, he is now the GC leader.
The winds did cause a big split in the peloton and ruin the hopes for a lot of riders, however. The second group finished almost thirteen minutes behind Demare.
