Kooij wins second sprint on comeback, Cosnefroy seals Boucles de la Mayenne overall

Olav Kooij has won his second sprint at the 2.Pro-ranked Boucles de la Mayenne, taking out the fourth and last stage. Winner on day three, Benoît Cosnefroy sealed the overall title, delivering on his status as pre-race favourite four days after his temmate Julius Johansen claimed the opening Prologue.

Kooij's stage wins mark his first in the Decathlon-CMA CGM jersey, his debut delayed by a persistent virus in the first months of the season. These victories, in a field that includes his successor at Visma-Lease a Bike Matthew Brennan, Mads Pedersen (Lidl-Trek), John Degenkolb (Picnic-PostNL) and Juan Sebastián Molano (UAE Team Emirates-XRG).
