Museeuw solos to win in Denmark
By Jeff Jones
Quick.Step-Davitamon captain Johan Museeuw won today's third stage of the Tour of Denmark, beating CSC's Jakob Piil, fakta's Kurt Asle Arvesen and De Nardi's Serguei Gontchar after attacking them with two kilometres to go. The four had split off from a larger group with 50 km to go, which contained the GC favourites. However Team fakta's Michael Skelde (9th) managed to gain enough time on Mark Scanlon (Ag2r) to take over the race lead at the end of the day.
Today's stage was run over 185 km between Hammel and Kolding. The stage was marked by strong winds and much cooler temperatures (18-20 degrees) than the previous days, which suited the Belgian Quick.Step team perfectly. Christophe Kern (Brioches) and Matti Breschel (Denmark) were the first to successfully attack, gaining over 11 minutes before the peloton reacted at the 70 km mark.
In a matter of a few kilometres the race suddenly changed face, as 27 riders split off the front of the bunch, including seven riders from Quick.Step-Davitamon, six from CSC and four from Team fakta, who all worked hard to ensure the remainder off the field didn't get back on. Race leader Mark Scanlon (Ag2r) managed to catch the front group after a long chase with his Ag2r teammate Christophe Agnolutto, Michael Rasmussen and Mathew Hayman (Rabobank) and Jehudi Schoonacker (Vlaanderen), but it cost him energy that he would require later.
The wind and the pace of the leading group combined to put an end to Christophe Kern and Matti Breschel's breakaway before the Choice Hotels Bonus Sprint at km 112, won by Tomas Vaitkus (Landbouwkrediet). After 125 km, Jakob Piil (CSC) decided to try his hand in a solo move, but was joined by Johan Museeuw, Serguei Gontchar and Kurt-Asle Arvesen 10 km later.
The four worked hard and had gained a minute's lead in just 10 kilometres, and with all the main teams represented in the break it increased to 2'50 with around 25 km to go. All four started the day 2'15 behind race leader Mark Scanlon, thus any of them could take the leader's jersey if they stayed clear. However it was not to be, as Museeuw, Piil and Arvesen realised the threat of someone like Honchar in tomorrow's individual time trial.
There was enough cooperation in the front group to stay clear, and Museeuw put in an attack with 2 km to go that no-one could answer, crossing the line with 27" to spare to win his second race of the season after Het Volk in March. This is a great win that has repaid me for all of my hard work and effort during the last few months," commented the Lion of Flanders after the stage.
Michael Skelde (Team fakta) managed to slip clear of the chasing bunch as well in the company of a few others, and his time gap at the end allowed him to take over the yellow jersey from Scanlon. Scanlon's teammate Laurent Brochard was also in the second group (5th) and is now in second overall at 15".
