Brief
This event is actually a 160 km. tour around Århus. The riders start
in the very centre of the city. The race heads north out of the city, then
turns west and south to enter the city again from the south, finishing with 5
laps in the streets of Århus - each lap 6 kms. Early in the race a
7-man breakaway group driven by the Team Home Jack & Jones rider
Arvis Piziks took off. They managed to stay away until some 50 kms before
the finish.
Two separate groups counting among them some 20 riders started the chase.
The second group, fronted by a very strong Rolf Sørensen tore
everything to pieces, and when the race entered the city again there was
an eight man strong group in the lead, a few lost souls in between, and the
main pack some two minutes behind. The eight riders held on, and despite
several attempts by Rolf to break away over the last lap it was finally
Vainsteins who attacked on the rebound with 1 km to go who took the glory.
