John Degenkolb (Argos-Shimano) continues to put his stamp on the Four Days of Dunkirk – he won again in today’s stage 2, after taking the opening stage yesterday.
The German jumped in when Jérôme Pineau (Omega Pharma-Quick Step) started his final leadout for teammate Zdenek Stybar on the wet, cobbled home stretch of the 180km run from Berck-sur-Mer to Montreuil-sur-Mer. He then bolted past both riders in the last meters for a decisive win.
Stybar took second with the Frenchman holding on to third.
Degenkolb also holds onto the overall leader’s jersey going into tomorrow’s stage 3 in Belgium, 14 seconds ahead of Italy’s Danilo Napolitano (Acqua-Sapone) and 15 ahead of the Frenchman Pierrick Fedrigo (FDJ-BigMat)
