À J-4 du départ, découvrez la startlist provisoire de la 68ème édition des 4 Jours de Dunkerque / GP des Hauts-de-France. 📋 Quels coureurs allez-vous soutenir pendant la semaine de course ? @hautsdefrance @Dunkerque #4JDD
From May 14th to 19th, the 4 Jours de Dunkerque takes place on the roads of northern France. This six-day race is a prominent fixture among the French events during this period, known for its spectacular finales that highlight both sprinters and classics riders. Let's explore its profiles.
Stage 1: Dunkerque - Le Touquet-Paris Plage, 171.6 kilometers
The race starts off with a stage for the sprinters starting in Dunkerque and finishing in Le Touquet. It is the first of four days that should end in a sprint and will suit the fast men.
Stage 2: Wimereux - Abbeville, 183.6 kilometers
Day two of the race will go through some rugged roads from Wimereux to Abbeville but they should not be overly hard to prevent a bunch sprint from taking place.
Stage 3: Saint-Laurent-Blangry - Bouchain, 166 kilometers
The third day of racing is perhaps the flattest of the race. Within 166 kilometers the riders go from Saint-Laurent-Blangry to Bouchain and the circuit finale will once again accommodate the fast men.
Stage 4: Mazingarbe - Pont-à-Marcq, 171.1 kilometers
Another pan-flat day in the race, the sprinters will be happy to find another short stage without any serious difficulties. This time around the finale will be in Pont-à-Marcq.
Stage 5: Arques - Cassel, 180.1 kilometers
After four days of racing on flat roads the race finale goes into it's queen stage. It is Cassel monster. This features plenty laps of a hilly circuit that features 1.9 kilometers at over 5%, and a cobbled 1.5-kilometer ascent that averages 4.5% and virtually coincides with the finish line.
Stage 6: Loon-Plage - Dunkerque, 179.4 kilometers
As was most of the race, on the final day the riders return to completely flat roads. After passing through most of the region, the riders finally return to Dunkerque where they will most likely find a bunch sprint once again.

- Not sure that can be true, in that USA Cycling is part of the UCI.acem8226-12-2024
- Oh, and yes: I am no psychiatrist/psychologist, but Bruyneel and Texas Turd are both sociopaths. It goes well beyond "protect my world and anyone would" that is the usual zeitgeist of their bullshit. No normal person has Bob Roll go at Greg Lemond with an audio recording device at Ron Keifel's bike shop...for example.EricJensenRidesBikes26-12-2024
- Funnier: this website keeps giving credo to their ramblings. In this case, why in any possible way would Boonen want to create a fantasy world to attach himself to these two clowns when more likely he would want to forget he was even there? Laughable.EricJensenRidesBikes26-12-2024
- A sociopath is an informal term used to describe someone with antisocial personality disorder (ASPD), a mental health condition characterized by a chronic pattern of disregard for social norms, laws, and the rights and feelings of others.EricJensenRidesBikes26-12-2024
- Rowe spent his whole career on one team being nothing more than a thug for Skyneos. I have no idea why another team would want import this type of person into their program.Sweep26-12-2024

- yeah, that’s a more fair assessment. “reaching mathieu’s level” doesn’t mean you’re planning to replicate his whole career. the former IS doable, potentially. it’s just the latter that likely is not.OCexile25-12-2024
- That’s not entirely true. Every person follows their own development path and peaks differently. Remco and Primoz had hardly started cycling before elite level. Jonas was pretty much under the radzr until he unexpectedly had to take over responsibility at JV. Some guys only get real good in their thirties others have peaked mid-twenties. You can’t tell in advance how and upto what level they will progress, obviously his career might not have MVDPs length but nothing says he could not end up doing a few seasons at his level.Mistermaumau25-12-2024
- well, del grosso is 21 right now. when mathieu was a year younger than that, he was already winning elite level world championships, not U23. i think del grosso will be a very good pro for years, but if he was really going to be the next van der poel someday, he’d already have to be at that level right NOW. van der poel was showing signs of true greatness when he was 15-16. THAT’S what generational talent looks like.OCexile25-12-2024
- Yeah.... gear 😅.mikolajjj24-12-2024
