Russian neo-pro Vladimir Efimkin (Team Barloworld-Valsir) has impressively secured his second victory of the season in today’s penultimate, etape reine at the Four Days of Dunkirk. On the finishing climb up to Boulougne on the northern French coast after some gruelling circuits, the 23 year old – winner of a Vuelta a Aragon stage recently – launched an explosive attack and soloed away to the finish for an impressive victory, which boosts him to second overall. Behind, Pierrick Fedrigo was next in, grinding away to second twenty seconds down, with Thor Hushovd showing he can last the hills with an excellent third, a couple of seconds down.
Despite Efimkin’s dangerous attack, Pierrick Fedrigo (Bouygues Telecom) now leads by twelve seconds with one stage to go. Having looked strong all week, since the Trophee des Grimpeurs, it looks likely that the Frenchman will secure the biggest win of his career. Meanwhile, Christophe Moreau has ridden solidly and now lies third, a second ahead of surprise packages Petr Bencik and yesterday’s leader Linus Gerdemann, who is still on course for a fine result in his first race with CSC.
