TVM's Servais Knaven, who is 24 years old, has won the Dutch Road Racing
Championship at Meerssen (which is in Limburg about 20 kms north of Maastricht - in the south). It was
the first time professionals and amateurs raced for the same championship. He broke away with 15 kms
to go from the top group of seven riders.
He benefitted from the work of his TVM teammates.
Britain
Robert Millar, Scotland's former Tour de France mountains king, won his
first British professional road race title today at the age of 36 as he set
a record time over three laps of the Isle of Man TT course.
Millar finished over two minutes clear in the 113-mile Manx
International pro-am road race, which incorporated the national
championship.
Former Milk Race winner Chris Walker, from Sheffield, salvaged the
silver medal after being dropped by Millar at the 100-mile mark.
French amateur Pierre Painaud took an 11-man sprint for third place from
London's Chris Lillywhite, who claimed bronze medal in the British title
race.
Former champion Malcolm Elliott, home from America, claimed sixth
overall and fourth in the national championship as defending champion Brian
Smith was relegated to eighth place.
Millar, who was in the main group four minutes behind the leaders at the
end of the first lap, hit the front early on the final circuit. And as they
started the third climb out of Ramsey only Walker could stay with him.
But Walker was also left trailing at the Gooseneck, and by the Guthrie
Memorial with 11 miles to go Millar had a lead of 35 seconds.
"I knew that if I could get across to the leaders comfortably I would be
in with a chance," said Millar, who rides for French team Le Groupement.
Millar's winning time of 4hr 32min 53sec took almost 10 minutes off the
previous record for the Manx International, set by Wayne Randle in 1989.
