Scandinavian Open Road Championship, Cat 1.5

Finland, August 7-8, 1999

Teams    

Report:

Tomas Nilsson, who reports for cyclingnews.com on Scandinavian cycling writes that the Scandinavian Men's Road Championships over 214.5 kms offers an improved field on the Time Trial. Even Danish pros Acceptcard has managed to put a team on the road among the 82 riders. An interesting start is IF Lanken which has Joona Laukka and Magnus Backstedt (TdF stage winner last year) in the ranks. Laukka and Wirsbo's Michael Andersson are under Acceptcard contracts so there might be some interesting team tactics. And IF Lanken often join forces with Team Wirsbo in amateur races so the three strongest teams are all in the same family. The two Norwegian teams might have some chances especially someone from Team Crescent Tranemo, which is divided for this race into two separate teams with no constraints on either. Another chance Kjell Carlstrvm of TuUl Olmo Team?

Jenny Algelid will be the favourite in the Women's race. Some Norwegian riders will be the main opposition. The Finns lack their best riders (Pia Sundstedt and Sanna Lehtimdki) on the home roads.

Scandinavian Open Road Championships, 214.5 kms:

The Danish pros from Acceptcard dominated the Road Race for the Scandinavian Open Championships. Martyn Kryger won in front of three team mates. Seven riders in an early break got two miniutes but were reeled in by Team Crescent. The Danes attacked on the climb of the penultimate lap. Only Robert Österling, Crescent, and Kjell Carlsröm, TuUl, were able to follow. For a while.
