May 3/22 15:28 pm - Cote Avoids Crash in Final Metres of Dunkerque Stage 1
Posted by Editoress on 05/3/22
Pier-André Côté (Human Powered Health) narrowly missed a crash in the final metres of Stage 1 of the 4 Days of Dunkerque on Tuesday to finish 14th. Coté's team mate Arvid De Kleijn took the win after the rider who caused the crash was relegated.
There were only about 50 metres to go when Arnaud De Lie (Lotto Soudal) moved to the front of the bunch sprint, trying to make his way between Dan McLay (Arkéa Samsic) and Sam Welsford (Team DSM). Welsford went slightly out of his trajectory to his left and came into contact with De Lie, which caused the crash of several riders.
Behind, Pier-André Côté managed to avoid the worst, stating to Sportcom, "I think I had a guardian angel at the very end! You can see me crossing the line at almost 1 km / h, I had to do the last 100 metres just by braking and zigzagging between bikes flying around me. We did the work for Arvid, but we are far from giving him the perfect approach, it was so chaotic!"
