Groenendaal superior

By Tomas Nilsson

Richard Groenendaal could, despite some illness earlier in the week and two falls along the way, lead the race from start to finish in Steinmaur. His gap was 10 seconds to Jan Ramsauer and 13 toMichi Baunmgartner already after the first lap. At the second passage the followers were a trio, with Belgian Björn Rondelez added. he later left the others behind and finished second, 51 seconds behind the flying Dutchman followed by Ramsauer, Baumgartner, Christian Heule, Dominique Arnould and a pale Thomas Frischkecht, probably suffering jet lag from his recent Californian mini tour.
