Preview

Gérard Schiltz, who reports for cyclingnews.com from Luxembourg, writes that the Fleche du Sud is one of the most important races in Luxembourg. The 50th edition of the race attracted 150 riders from 22 teams. The first stage saw a young Luxemburgish rider Kim Kirchen take victory. This capped off a great day for the locals as they also took places 3 and 6. A further win for Kirchen in Stage 3b consolidated his place at the top of the GC. He is currently riding for the Under-23 Italian De Nardi squad. There were a lot of National teams racing this event, including squads from the Netherlands, Sweden, Belgium, Germany, Luxemburg.
