Arvid de Kliejn (Tudor) took his first win since March with a storming sprint at the GP de Fourmies ahead of Gerben Thijssen (Intermarché-Wanty), powering away from the Belgian in the final 50 metres.

De Kleijn was led out perfectly by his Tudor train heading into the final run for home, just as was the case with his last win at Paris-Nice, before launching up the inside around the gradual right-hand bend and easily gapping his competitiors.

Cyclingnews is the world's leader in English-language coverage of professional cycling. Started in 1995 by University of Newcastle professor Bill Mitchell, the site was one of the first to provide breaking news and results over the internet in English. The site was purchased by Knapp Communications in 1999, and owner Gerard Knapp built it into the definitive voice of pro cycling. Since then, major publishing house Future PLC has owned the site and expanded it to include top features, news, results, photos and tech reporting. The site continues to be the most comprehensive and authoritative English voice in professional cycling.
