Renäng wins Scandinavian
Open
By Tomas Nilsson, cyclingnews.com correspondent
The season so far has been awful for last year's Swedish revelation
Petter Renäng. During the Team Crescent spring tour in Italy and Belgium
he caught a bad cold and didn't get time to recover properly. So when
the rest of the team went to Tour of Slovakia a couple of weeks ago
Renäng, showing extremely low blood values, was told to stay at home,
rest and recover.
The break was the right medicine. Sunday he took his greatest victory
so far, the first in a UCI-classified race, by soloing over the finish
line after 221 km in the Scandinavian Open in Sweden's cycling Mecca
Vårgårda.
Petter Renäng had two goals when he started the Scandinavian open;
to help team mate Jonas Ljungblad win the Swedish Cup classification
and to be good enough to be picked for the national team for the U 23
European Championships. He succeeded in both. In the first half of the
race the Crescent riders worked hard to hook off as many riders as possible.
Renäng himself attacked several times during the latter half of the
race and finally only six riders remained up front. With some six kilometres
to go Petter Renäng made his final attack and arrived in Vårgårda alone.
Jonas Ljungblad sprinted in as third winning the Cup Series.
