Preview stage 2. From the 16th to the 21st of May the 4 Jours du Dunkerque will provide for a set of explosive days in northern France, on territory that will allow the sprinters and classics riders to take on meaningful wins in one of the final opportunities before the Tour de France.
Stage 2 will be a day for the puncheurs, and some sprinters who have sharp climbing legs. The finale in Laon will be very explosive, featuring a 9% ramp for 600 meters just 5.5 kilometers away from the finish. The last 1.9 kilometers average 4%, making it a slight uphill finale which has the potential to be very open.
