Paul Magnier (Soudal-QuickStep) won GP de Fourmies / La Voix du Nord with a late acceleration in the bunch sprint on Sunday. Pavel Bittner (Picnic-PostNL) finished second and Yevgeniy Fedorov (XDS Astana) took third.
The final 11km circuit saw Mike Teunissen (XDS Astana), Baptiste Veistroffer (Lotto) and Léandre Huck (Veloce Club Rouen 76) keeping hopes alive from the original five-rider breakaway, with a 25-second gap on the field. The trio was caught with under 4km to go in Fourmies to set up the frantic sprint of the peloton, more than 100 riders strong approaching the line.
