Tombak takes over leader's jersey
 |
Yesterday's second place getter Janek Tombak (Cofidis) has taken the leader's jersey in the Four Days of Dunkirk, after winning today's second stage from Hellemmes to Steenvorde. Tombak beat Didier Rous (Bonjour) in a two man sprint, with Gorik Gardeyn (Lotto-Adecco) taking third at the end of the 190 km stage. With Tombak's 10 second time bonus for winning in addition to 5 seconds lead on the main peloton, he took over the pink jersey.
The stage was very animated, with a group of eight getting away just after the start. Included in the group were Jacky Durand (FdJ), Jens Voigt (Credit Agricole), Gilles Bouvard (Jean Delatour) and Franck Rénier (Bonjour), and they managed a one minute lead at most. However, the peloton was in no mood for a long chase, and kept attacking until the group was brought back after kilometre 50.
Roger Hammond (Collstrop-Palmans) and Roberto Lochowski (EDS-fakta) were then allowed some freedom, getting clear and riding to a 4'25 lead at km 78. But behind them the speed began to increase as the peloton approached the first climb of Mont Cassel, and they were eventually caught with 30 km to go.
That was the signal for local rider Cédric Vasseur (Cofidis) and Christophe Moreau (Credit Agricole) too attack, but they were given no quarter by the bunch. The only rider to succeed was Tombak, who attacked on the last descent of Mont Cassel with 8 km to go, accompanied by Rous. Tombak and Rous worked together until the end to contest the sprint, with the Estonian proving quicker than the French champion. The peloton was led home by Gardeyn 5 seconds behind.
Tomorrow is a split day, with a 93 km stage in the morning between Gravelines and Douvrin, followed by a 23 km time trial in the afternoon.
