Two in a row! Sam Bennett back to good form as he wins once again at 4 Jours de Dunkerque
CyclingThursday, 16 May 2024 at 17:15
The 4 Jours de Dunkerque have allowed Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale to continue their winning run in 2024 and that continues. Sam Bennett has won stage 3 in a bunch sprint, extending his race lead.
A flat day, it didn't encourage many to try and get to the breakaway of the day. Only two riders did in fact: Kenny Molly May and Gwen Leclainche. The duo's chances of winning were not big however, the peloton comfortably controlled the move which was caught with 14 kilometers to go. The bunch sprint began to be prepared.
A crash took place with 1.5 kilometers to go on both sides of a roundabout, reducing the bunch a bit. Decathlon managed to do a textbook leadout with Bennett being the first to launch his sprint, taking his second consecutive win as he outpsprinted Milan Fretin and Amaury Capiot.

- Oh, so now you know Pog better than he knows himself? Saying that when at the same time you can see an article quoting Pog saying “sometimes I don’t know why I attack” and not ever analysing emotions as men tend to is really rather naive and reductive. Hardly worth wasting our planet’s energy and ressources for. How about elevating the discussion to think over things a bit deeper?Mistermaumau20-11-2024
- They couldn’t convict him criminally because he paid up to escape it (that weird American possibility that ensures not all are equal before the law). He was convicted civilly but technically for committing crime. I on the other hand live in a country where unexplained damage to a baby in your care in theory leads to minimum 5 years of prison, if you admit an accident it’s more lenient but telling the truth that you don’t know how a bump on the skull happened exposes you to the as much risk as some who murder and rape. The developed world doesn’t deserve that designationMistermaumau20-11-2024
- Doesn’t deserve criticism considering all he won with all the crashes plus how close he got to a TdF (Pog had luck). If Pog and Jonas battle and wipe each other out we have Remco and Primoz to put on a show.Mistermaumau20-11-2024
- Agreed. Until he can stay upright on his bike, he’s at best an incomplete for a grade. That doesn’t mean that on his best form he can’t win it all. We just haven’t seen it.mij20-11-2024

- After the Cian Saga, all contracts should have a release clause or at least a legal framework for contract breaking. this is getting ridiculous.abstractengineer20-11-2024
- Other than Pog, the other leaders are beatable and They contributed 56 wins. But when team strategy is to pit best leaders against Pog and so-so leaders against Hirschi, Yates, Mcnulty, that team is going to lose everything.abstractengineer20-11-2024
