ProTeam Slock impresses again with top 5 at 4 jours de Dunkerque

Stage 4 was raced at a high intensity under difficult conditions, with heat playing a major role in the outcome. The decisive move formed after a selective phase, and Slock was quick to react, joining a strong front group that went clear and ultimately fought for the stage victory. 

Slock made the right move, joining the front group that would go on to contest the stage win. In the reduced sprint for the stage, Slock delivered a solid finish to secure fifth place. The performance continues a consistent run of results for Liam Slock, who has shown strong form

Speaking after the stage, Slock described the demanding conditions and the effort it took to stay in contention: ”It was a very hard stage in the heat. The team always kept me perfectly positioned at the front to start the Cassel, which allowed me to save a lot of energy for the finale. In the end I did feel that I was quite close to my limit, so I tried to find my own pace. Unfortunately, the chasers just managed to come back to my wheel."

With one stage remaining, Slock and the entire Intermarché-Lotto team will focus on protecting their place near the top of the general classification.
