Basso surprises
Showers spoil Julich's chances
|
Yesterday's opening road stage of the Post Danmark Rundt (Tour of Denmark) produced a surprise winner, when almost everyone - except Team CSC's Ivan Basso - was ready for a sprint finish. As Jens Voigt was caught by the peloton nearing the finish, his team-mate Basso launched a counter and soled into Skive nine seconds clear of the front group of 45 riders.
"I'm happy to be able to finish off the nice work done by the team," said Basso on team-csc.com. "This isn't exactly my terrain, but I felt good and I can feel that I'm still on form after the Tour. This is an important race for my team, and it was a pleasure to win in front of this fantastic crowd."
Added team manager Bjarne Riis, "It was great to see Ivan win like this. It takes guts and class to attack on streets soaked with rain, but he's clearly in excellent shape and really has the energy to go the distance. The race is still open, but I think, we've had the perfect start with Ivan in yellow."
