Ignatas Konovalovas is close to taking a very big win for himself and his small La Pomme Marseille team as he moved into the lead in the 4 Days of Dunkirk after having finished 6th in the queen stage.

"I dreamed of taking the pink jersey, but it's still a surprise. It all came together in the end. Coquard ran out of power. The team protected me every day and today I did not take a single turn before the last kilometer. Julien Loubet did a big job in the crosswinds. We are a Continental so for us it is not a small event. There are only big races," he told L'Equipe."
