France’s Sylvain Chavanel (Bonjour) took the overall title at the Four Days of Dunkirk while Mapei’s Tom Steels won the sprint finish of the final stage in Dunkirk, France.
After taking the overall lead on Saturday, Chavanel survived a day of frequent attacks on Sunday, but in the end the final stage came down to a field sprint, with the young Bonjour rider tucked away safely.
In the finale, Steels beat out Domo’s Jans Koerts and Luciano Pagliarini for the stage win.
Dunkirk was the first major victory for the 23-year-old Chavanel.
