Pascal Ackermann won the inaugural Classique Dunkerque-Grand Prix des Hauts de France, marking his first victory as a rider for Israel-Premier Tech after recovering from recent injuries. He led the charge in a flat sprint finish in Lens, with Biniam Girmay and Alberto Dainese finishing behind him. Ackermann praised his team's strength and shared his joy at returning to winning form after a challenging two years. The race started in Dunkirk, featuring a hilly loop before concluding with a flat stretch.
"Amazing race by the team today. Yesterday, when I saw the start list, I was like 'Why shouldn't I be able to win today?'"
"Today, the team was riding so strong from the front. If the team is riding like this, I should be the strongest rider. I felt super good on the climbs also."
