Casper takes out Denain

French sprinter Jimmy Casper (Cofidis) has taken out the 46th edition of the GP de Denain, which ended in a bunch sprint. Casper was too quick for Australian Mark Renshaw (Francaise des Jeux) and Frenchman Lloyd Mondory (Ag2r) at the end of the 199 km race.

The first half of the GP de Denain was very aggressive, and it wasn't until km 92 that Lithuanian Linas Balciunas (Agritubel) and William Bonnet (Auber 93) escaped the peloton. They were joined by 10 others, and managed to hold the peloton at bay during most of the 10 finishing circuits. The break was caught with 10 km to go thanks to the work of the Jacques-T Interim team, before Cofidis and Bouygues Telecom took over to smother any further attacks. Casper paid his Cofidis team back with a victory, and became the first French rider to win since Fred Moncassin in 1990.
