Jake Stewart (Israel-Premier Tech) took victory in a disjointed sprint on the final stage of 4 Jours de Dunkerque, while Sam Watson (Ineos Grenadiers) held his overall race lead to take his first general classification victory.
The sprint was opened early by Gianluca Pollefliet (Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale Team), led by Pierre Gautherat, but the prove proved too early as Stewart was able to launch his sprint and march through the Belgian rider.
