Caleb Ewan took a decisive print victory in Fourmies today, in a mass sprint ahead of Dylan Groenewegen and Amaury Capiot following a crash within the final kilometres which eliminated some of the sprint contenders.
Lotto controlled the lead-out, and Groenewegen was the first to initiate the sprint within the final few hundred metres. Ewan was tight on the Dutch sprinter’s wheel, though, and overtook him ahead of the line.

Speaking about the final run-in to the finish, Ewan credited his team for the strong leadout. “Jasper had to go on the front super early, and he did a great job using the other guys, and in the end he delivered me perfectly with 200m,” he said.
“So thanks to him and the whole team.”
