Grand Prix UMag #5 - Cat. 1.5

Croatia, February 20, 2000

Report

Sunday's race over 143 kms had a lot of aggressive riding like the previous four Umag races. Finally a group of fifteen was formed towards the end. Danish Danny Jonasson (Tam Fakta) tried to get away on his own but two other riders, Tomas Konecny (Cze) Wüstenrot and Igor Kranjec (Svk) Perutnina-Radenska-Rog, followed. The trio worked well together and held the others off. In the sprint Konecny defeated the Dane by half a wheel. Dutch veteran John Talen broke away from the chasing group and finished 16 seconds behind the winner, nine seconds ahead of the rest of the group.
