One of my most anticipated race days of the year. Mont Cassel always delivers.

Ah, yes. I remember three years ago. Definitely one of Those cases where if you summed the race up to a non cycling fan, they'd look at you like you were crazy:
"Jumbo won five out of six stages, as well as the GC, of the four days of Dunkirk."

It's just borrowing the days from the Driedaagse de Panne-Koksijde, that's all.

Between the Driedaagse and the Quatre-Jours there are seven race days, so the total is right, I guess?

At least Driedaagse is not called Driedaagse anymore.

 

[Bonimenier]

Benjamin Thomas is going to prove he is the most relevant Thomas in today's cycling.

 

[rallybanana]

Despite the misleading title, this race is actually six days.

Thanks for clarifying. So it's a 6-day race called the 4 Jours de Dunkerque which starts in March and finishes in August.

Those silly Americans.

 

[lemon cheese cake]

I remember it being a 4 day race over 5 days but it's news to me that its now six days!

 

[Jumbo Visma Fan :)]

Those silly Americans.

We Americans aren’t silly, more angry than anything.

You don't even know how to write dates...

In America, that’s how we write dates.

 

[Bye Bye Bicycle]

In America the US, that’s how we write dates.

Corrected you there.

 

[Jumbo Visma Fan :)]

Honestly a way better route than the last time this was held, more than just the Cassel stage to attack on.

 

[Jumbo Visma Fan :)]

Barthe, Frentin, and Siskevicius up the road, shouldn’t this thread be stickied?

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Whats all this pink in the graphics for Dunkerque?
Trolling the coming Giro?

Shoulder barge crash near the line

 

[RedheadDane]

What the...

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Very stupid move by De Lie (hope he's okay), very ugly move by Welsford who must have known there was another rider (McLay) left of De Lie, and very dangerous move by the organisers to finish in a slight curve.

Whoever wins this stage really doesn't deserve it, should have been McLay's or De Lie's depending on if that gap was viable.

 

[armchairclimber]

Shoulder charge. Arm out. Dangerous. After so many terrible injuries from crashes really reckless. De Lie was already alongside.

 

[Wvv]

So this will cause a lot of discussion.

To me, there weren't extremely horrible errors. But I still think Welsford is most responsible for the crash, closing the gap a bit too much for the upcoming faster guy. Which was De Lie.

 

[Samamba]

De Lie was the fastest but took way too much risk there, but Welshord actually makes him crash, obvious DQ.

LTS is completely done now tho. Worst thing ever for them.
