Credit Agricole's Christophe Moreau has won the toughest stage of the Four Days of Dunkirk, taking over the leader's rose jersey from Frederic Finot (Jean Delatour) in the process. Finot couldn't handle the climbs today, and lost 22 minutes, while Moreau stormed to victory in the company of Didier Rous (Brioches). Moreau will now have to defend his lead against Rous, Halgand and Brochard in tomorrow's 19 km time trial, which will be followed by a 96 km stage finishing in Dunkerque.

Today's 173 kilometres between Wimereux and Boulogne-sur-Mer contained seven climbs as the riders did laps of a circuit around Boulogne-sur-Mer. There was an early breakaway of nine riders but this was caught well in time for the finish. Cedric Vasseur was the first to counter attack with 70 km to go, but he was quickly caught and dropped by the favourites for the stage.

With 23 km to go, Moreau attacked and dropped everyone save for Rous, who stayed with him until the finish but could not beat him in the sprint. Third was Patrice Halgand (Delatour) at 9 seconds, followed by Brochard, Zabriskie and Virenque.

The final climb near the finish line, about an hour before the arrival of the riders on the first of seven laps.
The pack, mostly still together, on the streets of Boulogne-sur-mer during lap one. The race was about to get much harder.
Led by Christophe Mengin (FDJeux.com), an early breakaway of 9 riders on the descent after crossing the finish line on the first lap.
The pack stretches out on the descent on lap one, some 3 minutes behind the breakaway.
Felix Rafael Cardenas (05 Orbitel) would drop out before the finish while U.S. Postal's Matt White would put in a strong performance, finishing 11th in the tough stage.
Race leader Frédéric Finot (Jean Delatour), wearing #13, couldn't keep up and lost over 22 minutes on the day and the pink jersey, falling from first place to 56th.
Jeroen Blijlevens (BankGiroLoterij Cycling Team), still looking to repeat past glory, found a way to finish the stage and was there the next day to contest a sprint finish in Dunkirk.
Jean-Patrick Nazon (Jean Delatour) may have lost 22 minutes on the day but went on to win the final stage in Dunkirk.
Jacky Durand (FDJeux.com), Lauri Aus (Ag2r-Prevoyance), and Saulius Ruskys (Marlux-Wincor Nixdorf) were so far behind in the 7-lap circuit that they looked like a breakaway group of 3... but they hung on courageously to finish the stage, more than 26 minutes behind the winner.
Franck Pencole (MBK Oktos) showed that a little rage can help attack the climbs.
Kevin De Weert (Rabobank) attacks the top of the climb.
David Millar (Cofidis-Le Crédit par Téléphone) is back in action.
Steffen Kjaergaard (US Postal) finished 88th on the stage but had three teammates in the top 15.
Tough day at the office!
Young rider Anthony Geslin (Brioches La Boulangère) finished 10th on the day, Richard Virenque (Quick.Step-Davitamon), 6th.
US Postal-Berry Floor's Barry floors it. He finished a strong 13th and yet was still only third best on the team on an impressive day for Postal.
Levi Leipheimer (Rabobank), riding into Tour form, finished 7:31 behind the stage winner.
Stéphane Barthe (MBK-Oktos-Saint-Quentin), followed by Benoît Joachim (US Postal) and Bart Voskamp (BankGiroLoterij Cycling Team) with one lap to go.
Three team leaders, Christophe Moreau (Credit Agricole), Patrice Halgand (Jean Delatour), and Didier Rous (Brioches La Boulangère) broke away late with Moreau taking the win ahead of Rous and Halgand.
