Stage 4b - August 4: Nysted - Nykøbing Falster, ITT, 17 km

Sweet victory and sour grapes

Only an accident can prevent Rolf Sörensen (Rabobank) from winning the Tour of Denmark after five second places in the past. On Friday evening he delivered an excellent time trial in Nyköbing Falster. Arturas Kasputis (Ag2R) won the stage but he was too far behind in the overall classification to be a threat. The only major contender to Sörensen was Andreas Klöden (Telekom) but the nine seconds he gained was far too little, he trails Sörensen by 30 seconds and will have to settle for the white youth jersey while Sörensen also leads the climber's and the points competitions.

Meanwhile the Danish teams argue over who's fault it was that Sörensen managed to get away on the third stage.

"It was honestly speaking disappointing that Fakta couldn't control Rolf. They gave him the leader's jersey. As they have bragged about lenie Kristensen being able tio defend it they should have showed more responsibility," said Memorycard's sports director Alex Pedersen according to news agency Ritzaus. His Fakta collegue Kim Andersen has of course another opinion, although he was disappointed that the team lost the jersey. The aim, he said, was to get Kristensen into a good position for the TT, jersey or not.

A certain Bjarne Riis judged: "If you have ambitions to win then you are responsible for what you are doing and must cover the holes if no one else does. They should not have let Rolf get such a gap. A rider like him must be reeled in immediately," said Riis congratulating Sörensen to his lead.
