The Report
The morning break eventually established after many attemps from numerous teams. It was a large break with 10+ riders, the break included Europcar's Cyril Gautier.
After the break was caught the favourites start to show their colours, with 10km to go Cunego is forcing the pace out front on his own. In the next group we have Voeckler, Gilbert, Evans and Rodriguez. Behind them trying to bridge the gap we have Cancellara and Vinokourov.
The group of Voeckler, Gilbert, Rodriguez and Evans working hard to bridge the gap to Cunego.
Voeckler senses his only chance of a win is to attack before the final hill.
Possibly the biggest win of Voeckler's career, his season gets better and better, great tactical riding from Voeckler to claim a superb win here in Valkenburg.

Le Fleche Wallone
The morning break featuring Spaniard Ezequiel Mosquera.
[b]Ryder Hesjesdal and Marco Pinotti work hard to try and join the break out front.
Realising the break may not come back, Phillipe Gilbert attacked to join up with them.
But it's too late and Mosquera becomes our second surprise winner of the week. Some fantastic racing here.

5 Jours de Dunkerque
We hope to win a stage here in Dunkirk.
Tour de Picardie
We hope to also win a stage in Picardie.
Circuit Lorraine
We hope to finish in the top 10 on GC.
May is mainly giving our lesser riders a chance as Voeckler will be taking a break before a hectic schedule in June and July. There are many flat stages in the races we have chosen so we aim to take a decent sprinter to challenge for a win.

Stage 1
The first stage is a virtually pan flat and will feature the sprinters bidding to be the first to wear the leader's yellow jersey.
Samuel Dumoulin continues to dominate the minor races as he takes yet another win for his Cofidis team, great start for them. Skil's Kenny Van Hummel sprints to second ahead of Landbouwkrediet's Aidis Kruopis.
| 1 | Samuel Dumoulin | Cofidis, le crédit en ligne | 4h12'29 | | 2 | Kenny Van Hummel | Skil - Shimano | s.t. | | 3 | Aidis Kruopis | Landbouwkrediet | s.t. | | 4 | Yukiya Arashiro | Team Europcar | s.t. | | 5 | Kris Boeckmans | Topsport Vlaanderen - Mercator | s.t. | | 6 | Jimmy Casper | Saur - Sojasun | s.t. | | 7 | André Schulze | CCC Polsat Polkowice | s.t. | | 8 | Anthony Geslin | FDJ | s.t. | | 9 | Aitor Galdos | Caja Rural | s.t. | | 10 | Guillaume Blot | Bretagne - Schuller | s.t. |
Stage 2
Today's stage sees another chance for the sprinters to take a win and a good chance for Dumoulin to take back to back wins. He will be a marked man now after his first stage win.
But the sprinters were to miss out as the break succeeds. Lukasz Bodnar of the CCC Polsat team wins ahead of Ladagnous of FDJ and Coyot of Saur Sojasun.
| 1 | Łukasz Bodnar | CCC Polsat Polkowice | 3h56'51 | | 2 | Matthieu Ladagnous | FDJ | s.t. | | 3 | Arnaud Coyot | Saur - Sojasun | s.t. | | 4 | Laurens Ten Dam | Rabobank Cycling Team | + 32 | | 5 | Frédéric Guesdon | FDJ | s.t. | | 6 | Anthony Geslin | FDJ | s.t. | | 7 | Guillaume Blot | Bretagne - Schuller | s.t. | | 8 | Tony Gallopin | Cofidis, le crédit en ligne | s.t. | | 9 | Tom Leezer | Rabobank Cycling Team | s.t. | | 10 | Jens Keukeleire | Cofidis, le crédit en ligne | s.t. |
Stage 3
Today is one of two more chances for the sprinters to grab a win here around Dunkirk. Tomorrow's stage will be the deciding stage as far as overall will be concerned so will the teams be willing to put the work in or conserve their efforts for tomorrow.
A mixture of CCC and Cofidis work on the front brought the break back and Dumoulin edged of Europcar's Arashiro to take his second win of the race.
| 1 | Samuel Dumoulin | Cofidis, le crédit en ligne | 4h00'25 | | 2 | Yukiya Arashiro | Team Europcar | s.t. | | 3 | Anthony Geslin | FDJ | s.t. | | 4 | Aitor Galdos | Caja Rural | s.t. | | 5 | Tony Gallopin | Cofidis, le crédit en ligne | s.t. | | 6 | Bartlomiej Matysiak | CCC Polsat Polkowice | s.t. | | 7 | Kenny Van Hummel | Skil - Shimano | s.t. | | 8 | Guillaume Blot | Bretagne - Schuller | s.t. | | 9 | Jonathan Hivert | Saur - Sojasun | s.t. | | 10 | Kris Boeckmans | Topsport Vlaanderen - Mercator | s.t. |

Stage 4
Today's stage will decide the overall classification today. For most of the stage the rider's will be completing a loop around Cassel. This includes a Vlaarnderen style cobbled hill which features two sets of parvel apart from the last lap.
With the break up the roas still and seemingly safe to contest the win, Vincent Jerome set of to try and catch them before the final hill.
Sven Nys of the Landbouwkrediet team takes the win ahead of Dion and pre race favourite Hunt.

Stage 5
Today's final stage is made for the sprinters that are here. It's a pan flat run into the centre of Dunkirk.
[center]As the feature on most of the flat stages here, the break went away mopped up the points on offer throughout the stage and was caught ready for a mass sprint finish. Close to the 3km to go banner there was a crash that taken down over half of the peleton, including 7 of the 8 Europcar riders. Dumoulin won th stage to cap off a great race for him and Cofidis.
