Stage 3 - August 3: Skanderborg - Faaborg 185 km

Mission impossible accomplished

Rolf Sörensen (Rabobank) did the impossible, he rode himself into the lead of the Tour of Denmark after an early attack at 40 of 185 kilometres from Skanderborg to Faaborg. Yesterday he missed the train and was 1.35 behind the leading Lennie Kristensen in the overall classification. Now he leads the race by 25 seconds.

Rolf took Frank Höj (Danish National/FDJ) along in the attack and after a while Geert van Bondt (Farm Frites) joined the Danish duo. The gap grew slowly to around 3.30 at most and with 35 kilometres to go, the gap was still over three minutes. Kristensen's team Fakta was not strong enough to reel in the leaders. At this stage Frank Höj wasn't able to hang on any longer and van Bondt was not too interested in the hard work although he did more towards the end when a stage win was within reach.

And win he did but Sörensen, five times second although never a winner in the Tour of Denmark, couldn't care less. The yellow leader's jersey was his. The peloton came in at 1.48 which gave Sörenson 25 seconds to Kristensen, 29 to Michaelsen (Danish national/FDJ) and 30 to van Petegem (Farm Frites). Tomorrow the decisive 17.2 kilometre TT stage waits in the afternoon after the morning's 113.5 kms from Lalandia to Nakskov.
