Stuart O'Grady (Aus) GAN 1.18 Brief Slovakian rider Jan Svorada (Mapei-Bricobi) won the sprint to take the second stage of the Four Days of Dunkirk which started in Audruicq (Pas-de-Calais) and finished in Amiens (Somme). The stage was marked by a number of abandons and the elevation to the leader's jersey of Latvian Arvis Piziks (Team Home Jack and Jones). Under grey skies and facing strong winds, several of the favourites abandoned the race. The leading TVM sprinter Jeroen Blijlevens did not sign on at the start. He was followed by Frédéric Moncassin who was a victim of a crash at Cassel (Nord), and preferred to take no more risks. But the surprise defection from the race came from Belgian Franck Vandenbroucke. The Mapei leader, visibly tired after his exploits in the early season, abandoned in the same way that he had done the week before the GP Frankfurt. The winner of Paris-Nice and Gent-Wevelgem has gone back home to Ploegstert and will take a period of several days rest. The stage developed after a 100 kms when 18 riders including Magnus Backstedt (Gan), Jan Svorada, Evgueni Berzine (Française des Jeux), Vlatcheslav Ekimov (US Postal) et le leader Jan Kirsipuu (Casino) attacked. With 10 kms to go, 6 riders - Jan Svorada, Arvis Piziks, Alexandre Vinokourov, Aart Vierhouten (Rabobank), Arturas Kasputis (Casino) and Evgueni Berzine went off the front of the top group.
