Denain - Denain, 197.9 km
Kenny Dehaes wins the 59th GP de Denain. Sarah Meyssonier photo
The race: Because of the bad weather, before the race start the organizer posted this update.
We have decided to delay the departure by 15 minutes and remove several cobblestones sectors, in view of the weather conditions. Given the climatic conditions 0 ° C (feels like -5 ° C), snow and frost, the risks are too great. Departure: 12h30
Third-placed Julien Duval of Ag2r said this about the race.
“Although some cobbled sections were taken out of the race this morning, which I think may have been a little over-cautious, the GP Denain was a really tough race all day with lots of echelons. At the end, there were only about 20 of us going for the win. I’m pretty happy with this podium (the last time he finished top three was May 14th for the 6th stage of the Four Days of Dunkirk).
"Coming after Tirreno-Adriatico and before Flanders, it’s good for the morale. And from Friday on, starting at the GP E3 Harelbeke, we will all be mobilized behind Oliver (Naesen) to win a big victory this spring!”
