50th Four Days of Dunkirk - 2.1
France, May 5-9, 2004
Stage 1 - May 5: Dunkerque - Steenvoorde, 181 km
Cofidis comes back with a bang
|
After almost a month sans competition, the northern French-based Cofidis team returned to racing in the Four Days of Dunkirk with a win in the opening stage in Steenvoorde. A two man breakaway consisting of sprinters Jimmy Casper and Jean-Patrick Nazon finished 13 seconds clear of the peloton, with Casper crossing the line ahead of Nazon in triumph.
It was a remarkable day for the Cofidis team, whose survival was threatened by a doping scandal recently, but they bounced back with the stage win, the leader's jersey and also the climbers jersey in their home tour.
How it unfolded
|
The first stage was run in testing conditions, with strong, freezing wind and rain lashing the coastal northern part of France. The stage saw many crashes, with Servais Knaven (Quick.Step-Davitamon) and Jans Koerts (Chocolade Jacques) both having to be taken to hospital. Knaven injured his left knee and required seven stitches, and won't be able to ride for five or six days. Another victim of the windy conditions was last year's winner Christophe Moreau (Credit Agricole), who abandoned mid-stage after not making the front echelon when it split.
Janek Tombak and Stuart O'Grady (both Cofidis) were the best climbers of the day, picking up points on the slippery, cobbled Mont Cassel (km 78) as well as Mont Noir (km 105) and Mont Des Cats (km 121). Shortly after the final climb, Jimmy Casper (Cofidis) and Jean-Patrick Nazon (Ag2r) escaped and rode the last 55 kilometres in front of the peloton. Their lead reached 5 minutes at one stage, and the pair couldn't be brought back.
The two sprinters fought out the stage victory in Steenvoorde with Casper proving to be the quickest. The bunch came in 13 seconds later led by Danilo Hondo (Gerolsteiner).
