Fedrigo takes it all
|
Pierrick Fedrigo (Bouygues Telecom) has triumphed in the Four Days of Dunkirk after finishing 20th in the final stage, which ended in a bunch sprint. After Credit Agricole and Cofidis vied with each other to get Thor Hushovd and Jimmy Casper across the line in first place, it was the surprising Pole Adam Wadecki (Intel Action) who took out the bunch sprint from Tomas Vaitkus (Ag2r Prevoyance) and Fred Rodriguez (Davitamon-Lotto) after pre-empting Casper's jump.
The final stage was between Bourbourg and Dunkirk, and finished with six slightly technical circuits of the coastal town. The main breakaway of the day was established by six riders: Renaud Dion (RAGT), Mickael Delage (Francaise des Jeux), Arnaud Coyot (Cofidis), Jan Svorada (Ed' System), Gert Steegmans (Davitamon-Lotto) and Matti Breschel (CSC), but they couldn't gain more than 1'30 over the watchful peloton, and were caught on the finishing circuit.
Then it became a battle between the sprinters teams, namely Cofidis and Credit Agricole, who rode a serious tempo to prevent any further breakaways from succeeding. It worked, and no-one was able to get away before the sprint, where Cofidis provided the final leadout for Casper. But Jimmy's finishing burst was deflated when a big move came up the right hand side of the road with Wadecki piloted by his teammate Jaroslaw Zarebski. Casper tried to hitch onto the train but he ended up fighting the wind as Wadecki powered home to win from a fast finishing Vaitkus and Fred Rodriguez.
