46th Four Days of Dunkirk - 2.1France, May 2-7, 2000Main Page Results Previous stageStage 3 - May 4: Boulogne - Bethune, 186.2 kmNazon wins it for FdJ
However, this was not before a three man, all-French breakaway tried to steal the day with a certain Jacky Durand (Lotto) at its head. The other two were Grégory Barbier (Ville de Charleroi) and Frederic Finot (Credit Agricole) who made their move in the second kilometre. The three worked very well and established a huge gap, although they were no threat to Kasputis' overall lead. At kilometre 80 of 186, they had 8 minutes lead before the inevitable elastic started to shrink. When they arrived on the finishing circuit around Béthune, they only had two minutes lead and were caught with 15 kilometres still to go. This left the sprinter's teams in the action and it was La Francaise des Jeux who put Nzaon on the spot, with the help of their other sprinter, Jimmy Casper. Tomorrow's fourth stage is a little different to that scheduled: It will be shortened to 138 kilometres (from 176) due to lack of stage support along the route. In addition, the local hunters may be out protesting against Alain Bocquet, the deputy mayor of Saint-Amand-les-Eaux and president of the communist party in the National Assembly, who voted for a law to limit hunting.
