46th Four Days of Dunkirk - 2.1France, May 2-7, 2000Main Page Results Previous stageStage 5 - May 6: Lillers - Westouter, 188.0 kmRodriguez in stage 5
Today was the hilliest of the Four Days of Dunkirk, although it still ended in victory for a sprinter, with Mapei's Fred Rodriguez recording another win for the year into Westouter. He beat Belgian Jo Planckaert (Cofidis) who has been out of the limelight for a little since crashing injuring himself earlier this year. In third was Swede Martin Rittsel (MCJ&J) who took over the leader's jersey from Ag2r's Arturas Kasputis after these three were part of a break that escaped the clutches of the peloton. Rittsel is now in a good position to take the overall win, but he only leads Kasputis by 2 seconds going into tomorrow's split day time trial-road race. Kasputis did well today to almost keep his lead, after he was attacked non-stop during the 10 ascents of Mont Rouge and Mont Noir. He couldn't prevent a six man breakway containing Rittsel, Rodriguez, Planckaert, Contrini, Sandstød, and Dellitoux escaping with 30 kilometres to go. Last year's winner, Michael Sandstød (MC J&J) worked with teammate Rittsel to give the break a minute gap on the bunch. This was reduced to 43 seconds by the finish but it was enough to give Rittsel the overall lead.
