The 69th edition of the Grand Prix d'Isbergues took place under a bright blue sky today, starting at the end of the morning, for a bit over 200 kilometers on the roads of the north of France. While several breakaways animated the race, the victory was finally decided in a bunch sprint and Nacer Bouhanni (Cofidis) was the one who won it.

Arnaud Démare (FDJ.fr) wins the Grand Prix d'Isbergues 2014, for the 2nd time in row

The Grand Prix d'Isbergues 2014 saw a breakaway of 7 riders being formed after a few kilometers in the race but, even though Adrien Petit (Cofidis) held on in the last laps on the circuit, we saw the bunch getting together and the victory was thus once again disputed in a sprint.

In this game, Arnaud Démare (FDJ.fr) already showed in 2013 being able to cross the line first in Isbergues and that's what he did again today, in the blue-white-red jersey!

Arnaud Démare wins the Grand Prix d'Isbergues, ahead of Degenkolb

The Grand Prix d'Isbergues saw today the formation of a 5 riders strong breakaway, rapidly after the start, and these riders stayed ahead in the race the whole day long. While approaching the final circuit, this group lost 2 riders and the remaining trio was brought back to only one rider ahead of the race in the end. Greg van Avermaet (BMC Racing Team), who was also at the origin of this breakaway, was finally also taken back by the peloton and the victory was thus decided in a sprint. Arnaud Démare (FDJ.fr) stays ahead of last year's winner, John Degenkolb (Team Argos-Shimano), to take home the flowers from Isbergues!
