4 Jours de Dunkerque / Grand Prix des Hauts de France / Four Days of Dunkirk 2022 – Stage 2 – Béthune – Maubeuge : 181,5 km
This mid-season stage race, held in the wind-battered regions of Normandy, Picardy and Nord pas de Calais, actually runs for six days – bad news for those riders who sign up for it without having a proper read of the Ts and Cs! The Four Days of Dunkirk first debuted back in 1955 and held an edition every year until 2020 and the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. Since then it has undergone a two-year hiatus but it’s back this year, in 2022, and set to host its 66th edition. The route doesn’t offer much in the way of difficulty, but when combined with the strong winds and sleeting rains which regularly batter this part of France in spring, it can quickly become one of the toughest week-long stage races on the cycling calendar.
