Frenchman Didier Rous (Bonjour) has won the 47th edition of the Four Days of Dunkirk, which finished today with a 103.4 kilometre stage from Saint-Pol-sur-Mer to Dunkirk. After back to back stage wins yesterday (stage 5) and this morning (stage 6 TT), Rous secured his GC win over Laurent Jalabert (CSC) by 40 seconds, with Stephane Heulot (BigMat) finishing third. The honours of the afternoon stage belonged to Estonaian Jaan Kirsipuu (Ag2r), who recorded his fourth win of the race, and his 10th win this season. The 103 km race finished in a bunch sprint, and Kirsipuu had no problem disposing of Damien Nazon (Bonjour) and Zoran Klemencic (Tacconi).
Afterwards, Rous said that "I won't be able to continue at this level until the Tour de France. After the Midi Libre, I will take a rest." A happy Laurent Jalabert said that he was "surprised by my current form. I have only had 15 days of competition and to see myself at such a good level pleases me. These Four days of Dunkirk were used to find confidence and the true mentality of a winner ".
