Jannik Steimle (Q36.5 Pro Cycling Team) claimed a surprise victory at the Grand Prix de Denain, where the early breakaway held on after the group of favourites was stalled by a crash on the final sector of cobbles.
Steimle outsprinted breakaway companion Cerial Desal (Bingoal WB), while Dries Van Gestel (TotalEnergies) pipped Arnaud De Lie (Lotto-Dstny) to third place, 11 seconds down on the escapees.
