Story of the Giro d'Italia, volume 1

Bill and Carol McGann's book The Story of the Giro d'Italia, A Year-by-Year History of the Tour of Italy, Vol 1: 1909 - 1970 is available in print, Kindle eBook & audiobook versions. To get your copy, just click on the Amazon link on the right.

Weather at the finish city of Dunkerque at 2:45 PM, local time: 15C (59F), partly cloudy, with the wind from the northwest at 13 km/hr (8 mph). There is a 2% chance of rain.

The race: Here's the report from Fausto Masnada's Team Soudal Quick-Step.

Fausto Masnada conquered the best climber classification at the Quatre Jours de Dunkerque, becoming the first Italian in seven years and only the third this century to do so. His success was built on the penultimate stage, where the 30-year-old from Bergamo instigated the main breakaway of the day, going early on the attack and scoring points on all but the last four classified climbs.

That impressive raid on the hills around Cassel put Masnada at the top of the KOM standings and he remained there after the sixth stage – animated from the breakaway by teammate Ayco Bastiaens – which concluded in Dunkerque, where French neo-pro Antoine Huby finished as our highest-ranked rider in the general classification.

“I am happy with this jersey! It’s nice for my confidence to be on the podium of a stage race and I am proud that I could fight for this jersey and take it home eventually. It wasn’t an easy race. Actually, it was pretty hectic this week with all those short but hard climbs, the cobbles and the weather, but all these things make my result even more special.”

“It’s not for the first time in my career that I won the climbers’ classification, but it’s been some time since this last happened, so I am obviously satisfied with having this jersey on my shoulders. It’s a morale-boosting result and now I am looking forward to my next appointment with the team”, said Fausto after the race where Soudal Quick-Step also took a stage victory with neo-pro Warre Vangheluwe.

Bill & Carol McGann's book The Story of the Tour de France, 2021: The Little Cannibal Dominates is available in both Kindle eBook & audiobook versions. To get your copy, just click on the Amazon link on the right.

Weather at the finish city of Cassel at 1:40 PM, local time: 14C (57F), cloudy, with the wind from the northwest at 14 km/hr (9 mph). There is a 5% chance of rain.

The race: Enrico Dhaeye (Philippe Wagner-Bazin) did not start. A third of the way into the stage Jelle Vermoote (Bingoal-WB) abandoned.

Here's the report from third-place Jenno Berckmoes' Team Lotto Dstny:

The queen stage of the 4 Jours de Dunkerque around Cassel promised to give some spectacle. Three riders made it into the early break. “It was quite a fight for the breakaway, as everyone wanted to be in it”, Jenno Berckmoes explains. “It wasn’t a big group, so it wasn’t really a must to have someone in. It got controlled and soon also the bunch got more select. We rode very attentively, Liam (Slock) and myself took some boni seconds.”

“When a group of five riders rode away in the final, I didn’t panic as the gap wasn’t too big. With a select group we went to the last climb, I don’t have any regrets, I just couldn’t follow the wheel of Bennett. At first I was maybe a bit disappointed as I really felt strong the whole day. I sat in the wheel of Sam Bennett, but I couldn’t go over him anymore. The second spot also just slipped away, as I had a chain issue. Now I’m third in GC, which is very nice as it’s my first race back after the spring. Tomorrow we will try another time for the victory with Milan (Menten).”

Weather at the finish city of Pont-a-Marcq at 1:55 PM, local time: 21C (70F), partly cloudy, with the wind from the northwest at 12 km/hr (8 mph). There is an 8% chance of rain.

The race: Here's the report from stage winner Warre Vangheluwe's Team Soudal Quick-Step.

Warre Vangheluwe became the latest Soudal Quick-Step rider to add a victory to his name, after one of the most nail-biting finishes of the season, which saw the young Belgian hold off the peloton by the slimmest of margins on the toughest day of the race so far.

Running from Mazingarbe to Pont-à-Marcq, Friday’s stage contained a total of 14 cobblestone sectors, all of them coming in the final 100 kilometers. The race got off to a nervous start, marred by two crashes and numerous breakaway attempts, but it took more than an hour for a group to finally snap the elastic. When this happened, Warre was there for Soudal Quick-Step, together with five other men, with whom he built a maximum gap of three minutes.

On paper, they were an easy target for the bunch, who was aiming for a fourth consecutive mass gallop, but the sextet worked well together and with each kilometer ticked off, they began believing more and more in their chances. Ten kilometers from the finish, with all the pavé stretches left behind, the breakaway had only four men left and 25 seconds, which didn’t stop them from pulling hard without thinking of any cat and mouse games.

It was only in the closing three kilometers of the race that the escapees began attacking one another, and Vangheluwe kept his powder dry for the last 700 meters of the race, where he accelerated, caught and passed Alexis Gougeard (Cofidis), putting in a gargantuan effort with the peloton breathing down his neck to claim an incredible and unlikely victory.

“We went on the attack quite early in the stage, and despite not having a huge margin, we traded turns at the front and did our best there. When the attacks began coming, I went after Gougeard and stayed with him for a couple of seconds before dropping him and continuing alone. I was confident I would take the win, but I had a bit of emotion after the finish, as Sam Bennett came strong from behind. To win this cobblestone stage, which was on my radar from before the start of the race, and take my first pro victory feels truly incredible. I can’t tell you how happy I am”, said a delighted and emotional Warre – who came through the ranks after a successful spell with the Soudal Quick-Step Devo Team – after delivering the squad’s 16th victory of the season.

"We had a different plan for today, we were able to adapt in the final and show our experience to control the situation. With the team, we made decisions quickly and they were the right ones, which enabled me to sprint in very good conditions. We've got good momentum and I think there will be more good results to come. I'm here to win races and I hope to come back to the Tour de France to show that I'm still capable of winning. I've always believed I could come back and I'm going to keep believing in myself." - Sam Bennett

Sam Bennett:
"It was a great sprint. I'm very happy to bring this victory to the team. On paper, I may be one of the fastest sprinters in the Four Days of Dunkirk, but in the field there are no guarantees. The team did a great job today, and I'm very proud of all my team-mates. They have a lot of experience, and it's a privilege to race alongside them. It's really incredible to be able to win thanks to them. As for the rest of the race, we'll take it day by day and see how it goes."

The news:

Weather at the finish city of Le Touquet at 2:00 PM, local time: 59F, rain, with the wind from the south at 6 mph. The rain is forecast to continue through 6:00 PM.

The race: Here's the report from fifth-place Milan Menten's Team Lotto Dstny.

The first day was a rainy stage, from Dunkerque to Le Touquet. With three local laps, the finish could be studied well upfront. Five riders made it into the breakaway of the day, but a bunch sprint was written in the stars. Milan Menten sprinted to a fifth spot, in a tricky wet final.

A wet start to the race.

“My feeling was good, but it was difficult to stay upright. It was dangerous sometimes, from the start on it was raining. The breakaway was controlled, and got caught quite easily. It was very nervous, as everyone wanted to be in the front. The last lap the most important was the positioning.”

“My teammates still put the pace in the last kilometers, I lost the wheel of Alec (Segaert). I eventually still got there, but I was a bit too far. I’m happy that I didn’t crash and tomorrow is another chance. We will go for it again.”

Complete results:

173 kilometers raced at an average speed of 42.232 km/hr
