68th 4 Jours de Dunkerque / Grand Prix des Hauts de France 2024 🇫🇷 (2.Pro) – Stage 3 – Saint-Laurent-Blangy – Bouchain : 165,1 km
The Four Days of Dunkirk (French: Quatre Jours de Dunkerque) is road bicycle race around the Nord-Pas de Calais region of northern France. Despite the name of the race, since the addition of an individual time trial in 1963, the race has been held over a 5 or 6 day period for most of its history. Since 2005, the race has been organised as a 2.HC event on the UCI Europe Tour. The race became part of the UCI ProSeries in 2020.
Sam Bennett went back-to-back with stage wins at 4 Jours de Dunkerque as his Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale delivered a long-range lead out for the stage 3 victory in Bouchain.
Clad in the race leader’s pink jersey, Bennett held off an acceleration from Milan Fretin (Cofidis) as the stage 1 winner finished second and held his second-overall position behind the Irishman.
Amaury Capiot (Arkéa-B&B Hotels) took third place in the bunch sprint, ahead of Nils Eekhoff (Team dsm-firmenich PostNL) and Pascal Ackermann (Israel-Premier Tech).
