GP de Fourmies 2021 [FULL RACE]

September 12, 2021

GP de Fourmies 2021 – Fourmies – Fourmies : 197,6 km

Falling late in the year and often after the culmination of the Grand Tour season, the GP de Fourmies offers both fans and riders a welcome return to the action-packed, one-day style of racing that we all know and love. Since its first edition in 1928, the race has seen all manner of different riders emerge victorious – from out and out classics specialists, to pure sprinters. In more recent years the race has started to favour the sprinters; in fact you’d have to go all the way back to 2007 when Peter Velits won from a group of four riders to find an edition that didn’t end in a mass bunch sprint. The race is held in the Fourmies commune of France, a small region that straddles the France-Belgium border in the north east of the country. The route largely tours this small region, dipping in and out of the small satellite villages that surround the main hub of Fourmies. There are some tricky climbs to navigate in the earlier part of the race, but the action doesn’t really start to unfold until the race transitions onto the short lap circuit around the town centre. The circuit around the town is quite technical and is characterised by a series of short, uphill drags. This makes it tough for one team to control, often creating one incredibly messy sprint finish as a result. The final few kilometres also head slightly downhill too, which has the effect of both ramping up the speeds and nerves within the bunch.
