Sáez continues solid run

While Euskaltel's Classics department has undoubtedly failed to fire so far this year, Adrián Sáez has consistently come up with decent performances. On Tuesday he made an attack in the finale of the Paris-Camembert, and today he placed 13th at the GP Denain.

Arnaud Démare of FDJ proved the fastest over the 199 kilometres, besting Europcar upshot Bryan Coquard and team-mate Nacer Bouhanni. A 23-rider strong group made it to the line together, and Sáez was the team's only representative in that group.

Results:

• (1, Arnaud Démare (FDJ), 4:55:35)
• 13, Adrián Sáez, s.t.
• 88, Peio Bilbao, 1:39
• 108, Juan José Oroz, 3:19
• 109, Ricardo García, s.t.
• 121, Steffen Radochla, 4:10
