Was a fun stage to watch, questionable decisions from the other guys in the 1st group to not attack Coquard more, there was really only one attack and that was the one forming the group of 3 that went to the end.

Swede Jonas Ahlstrand of Team Cofidis beats Bryan Coquard and Benjamin Giraud in a tight sprint finish in Stage 2 of the Four Days of Dunkirk that took a photo finish to sort out the three podium placings.

YEEES brilliant !!! Well done Jonas first this year.
Brutal finish. Jonas was a bit cheeky in that corner.

Watched it now, 2 crazy turns by Ahlstrand set himself up beautifully, Giraud was way the fastest, only needed like 5-10 more meters to win

It's possible that he was in the squad, but he surely didn't compete in the Olympics. He is a junior world champion though.
Maybe most known for this "crash".

Even more so now I guess. Josh probably never fitted into Sky and the strict rules.
He still got a lot to show and nice An Post gave him a shot.

Yeah it was better for him in the long run to leaves Sky and now he will have more freedom at An Post rather than be a domestique.

I think it's more to do with his lack of work ethic and terrible tactical sense that lost his place at sky not any personal decisions, it's a good job he's naturally talented
