Weather at the finish city of Dunkerque at 2:30 PM, local time: 26C (78F), sunny, with the wind from the north-northeast at 13 km/hr (8 mph). No rain is forecast.

The race: Here's the report from stage winner Jordi Mees' Team Red Bull-BORA-hansgrohe:

Double victory caps off stage race triumph: Meeus and van Poppel win in Dunkerque, Pithie defends the pink jersey

The 4 Jours de Dunkerque ended for Red Bull - BORA - hansgrohe just as they had begun: with a stage win. Jordi Meeus won the final stage ahead of Danny van Poppel in a bunch sprint. Laurence Pithie also retained the pink jersey, which he had taken on after his victory on the first stage and had not relinquished since.

With Laurence, the most consistent and versatile professional in the peloton, has won the race. After securing victory in the uphill sprint on the opening stage, he also won the bunch sprint on the flat behind a four-man breakaway group. On the third day, the New Zealander demonstrated his cobbled classics prowess by finishing second on the Paris-Roubaix cobbles in Arenberg. He spent the long finale of the fourth stage in the wind, as his rivals offered little support in the chase for the breakaway.

On the final day, Laurence then showed that he can also cope with setbacks. Neither a crash early in the race nor a mechanical just before the finish could deprive him of the well-deserved reward for a week in northern France, which brought the 23-year-old his first stage race victory as a professional. Alongside the pink jersey for the overall winner, Laurence also took the jerseys for best young rider and best points scorer.

Jordi then capped off the week for the team with another success. In Dunkirk, he celebrated his second win of the season with absolute dominance in a bunch sprint after 181 kilometres. Danny, acting as his lead-out man, also managed to finish in second place.

"I'm absolutely delighted to have achieved this today. Danny really set the stage for my victory, though. I'm pleased that he managed to finish second himself, and that we were able to give the team a perfect end to the week." — Jordi Meeus

"It’s my first overall victory, and I’m absolutely happy. It was a tough week, but the team did a really good job. Right from the first stage, we knew it was going to be a difficult week to control because of the strong teams. And yes, we had a lot of pressure and a lot of bad luck, but we managed to keep our heads up." — Laurence Pithie

"There was a major crash at the start of the stage, in which Laurence was also involved. Fortunately, he was able to carry on with only minor injuries and after a bike change. Then, of course, our aim was not only to secure the overall classification, but also to win the stage with Jordi.

When Laurence then suffered a mechanical four kilometres from the finish, there was a brief moment of panic. But fortunately, Callum Thornley reacted very quickly and gave Laurence his bike. And in the sprint, Jordi and Danny were still able to take the win. It’s a fantastic result to end the week on." — Cesare Benedetti, Sports Director

Weather at the finish city of Cassel at 2:40 PM, local time: 29C (85F), sunny, with the wind from the west-southwest at 16 km/hr (10 mph). No rain is forecast.

The race: Here's the report from third-place Kim Heiduk's Team Netcompany INEOS.

Kim Heiduk impressed with a battling ride to third place on the penultimate stage at the 4 Jours de Dunkerque.

The German was full of riding on the run into Cassel, and a key part of a pair of breakaway groups. The final move would stay clear to the finish, with Heiduk riding three riders off his wheel on the initial drag up to the line.

Yet in the final metres there was no stopping the winning acceleration of Natnael Tesfatsion (Movistar), who claimed victory and moved up to second overall.

Heiduk crossed the line seven seconds later, in an effort which would move him up to sixth place on GC with one stage to go.

Teammate Artem Shmidt now sits ninth overall as the peloton split apart on the steep final ramps.

Weather at the finish city of Liévin at 2:40 PM, local time: 22C (72F), partly cloudy, with the wind from thesouth at 8 km/hr (5 mph). No rain is forecast.

The race: Here's the report from winner Victor Papon's Team Nice Métropole-Côte d’Azur.

Victory! Team Nice Métropole-Côte d'Azur adds its name to the winners' list of this 70th edition of the 4 Days of Dunkirk. On Thursday, May 21, 2026, covering the 185 kilometers connecting Glisy to Liévin, Victor Papon won the 2nd stage in a sprint finish, delivering the Nice-based team its first victory of the season against the top squads in the professional peloton.

As early as the 13th kilometer, Team Nice Métropole Côte d'Azur placed two riders in the day's breakaway: Victor Papon and Jaakko Hänninen, who were joined by Maël Guegan (CIC Pro Cycling Academy), Kévin Avoine, and Daniel Arnes (Van Rysel Roubaix). It was an aggressive, determined group that quickly opened up a gap, building a lead of up to 4 minutes over the peloton with about one hundred kilometers remaining.

The sprinters' teams (EF Education, Red Bull-BORA, Unibet, etc.) then organized themselves to reel in the group. Victor Papon held out until the very end, securing the first victory of the 2026 season for the Nice squad in an impressive final sprint in Liévin.

Weather at the finish city of Laon at 2:50 PM, local time: 19C (67F), mostly cloudy, with the wind from the west-southwest at 19 km/hr (12 mph). There is a 5% chance of rain.

The race: Here's the report from winner Laurence Pithie's Team Red Bull-BORA-hansgrohe.

Second victory in four days. After Laurence Pithie had already won Rund um Köln on Sunday, he struck again at the start of the 4 Days of Dunkirk.

In the north of France, he won the opening stage on a final climb out of a sprint. After 177 kilometres from Lagny-le-Sec to Laon, a 2000 metre long climb with an average gradient of just over four percent decided the day's winner. The finale had already been ridden twice before on a ten-kilometre circuit.

Callum Thornley prepares
A very long field reached the decisive crossing. It was led by Callum Thornley, who had the difficult job of controlling the large group in the final kilometres.
Laurence then did everything right in the absolute finale. He not only chose the right rear wheel, but also the perfect line on the looping uphill section. With his punch, the 23-year-old secured the fourth victory of his career and the second for Red Bull - BORA - hansgrohe within a few days.

Laurence Pithie: "The team did an excellent job today. It was a relatively easy day, but the final lap was a real challenge. I gave it my all on the home stretch. I’m very happy with this victory. Köln has given me a lot of confidence for this week."

Cesare Benedetti, Sports Director: "We knew we were in for a tricky final lap in Laon today. Things didn’t go exactly as we’d planned. Still, the guys did a great job for Laurence. I’d especially like to highlight Callum Thornley’s performance. We know Laurence is in good form. On top of that, he timed his sprint perfectly. We’re very, very happy with how things started here."
