Bryan Coquard is in his first race as a pro and today took his second stage win of Etoile de Bessèges
Sean Downey and Ronan McLaughlin (both An Post-Chainreaction) finished in the bunch on today's fourth stage of the Etoile de Bessèges race in France. Martyn Irvine was a little further back, coming home in a group some 2:37 down on stage winner Brian Coquard, who took a silver medal in the omnium at the London Olympics from a field that included Irvine.
It was Coquard's second stage win of the race, which is his first assignment with new team Europcar. The race ends tomorrow with a split stage; a 69km road race in the morning followed by a 9.7km afternoon individual time trial.
