Casper and Engoulvent celebrate in Poitiers

Jimmy Casper (Saur-Sojasun) won the final stage of the Tour du Poitou-Charentes, while his teammate Jimmy Engoulvent snatched overall victory in Poitiers.

RadioShack’s Markel Irizar was the overall leader this morning but a tactical day’s racing between Niort and Poitiers saw the virtual lead change hands three times as the riders at the head of the general classification chased the bonus seconds on offer during the stage.
