Brief
A large group with all the main contenders had split before a third of the
race had been run and after several breaks this group had splintered with
5 riders arriving to a 35 km. street finish in the streets of Herning.
Realizing that they were up against riders that would be too quick in a
sprint finish, the two Danish rivals managed to cooperate and played the
old one-two with Rolf going first, and Bjarne replying when he was caught,
quickly gaining thirty or fourty meters, and thereby repeating last years
performance, with his seasons first win.
