41st Grand Prix Denain - Cat. 1.2France, April 20, 20001999 results Start list Past winners Leoni againEndrio Leoni (Alessio) took his second victory in two days Thursday by winning GP de Denain in front of young Norwegian Thor Hushovd. Yesterday, Leoni won the Grote Scheldeprijs in Belgium in a bunch sprint, this time he won in the same manner. The first escape of the day came after 10 kilometers by Laurent Pillon (Charleroi) who rode in front for some 40 kilometers. When he was caught, eleven riders went off, gaining two and a half minutes on the peloton. In the group were, among others Jeroen Blijlevens (Polti), Lauri Aus (Ag2R), Nico Eeckhout (Palmans), Janek Tombak (Cofidis), Christophe Mengin (FDJ) and Emmanuel Magnien (FDJ). However, at only five kilometres to go the group was caught and in the mass sprint Leoni had no problems in repeating the success from the day before. Laurent Brochard (Jean Delatour) maintained his lead in the coupe de France.

The winner of the both events last year will not be able to achieve that this year, although a win and a second would certainly not be a bad thing. It is the sixth round of the Coupe de France, currently led by Laurent Brochard who rides for French team Jean Delatour. The competition is open to French riders and French teams, so Blijlevens will not be racing for points. Kirsipuu will be amongst his chief rivals though, along with Robbie McEwen (Farm Frites), Fabrizio Guidi (FdJ), Jeremy Hunt and Jay Sweet (Big Mat) and Scheldeprijs winner, Enrico Leoni (Alessio). The 196 kilometre race is favourable to sprinters, but others such as Blijlevens' teammate, Mirko Celestino, or Laurent Desbiens (Cofidis) have a chance.
