Kopp on top in Köln
|
German sprinter David Kopp (Wiesenhof) completed a successful Easter weekend by winning the 90th edition of the Rund um Köln. Following his 4th place in the E3 Prijs Vlaanderen last Saturday, Kopp backed up on Monday to beat Stefan Schumacher (Shimano-Memory Corp) and Spaniard David Canada Gracia (Saunier Duval-Prodir) by over half a minute, as other favourites such as Erik Zabel and Danilo Hondo finished well out of contention.
The 26 year old Kopp described himself as "overjoyed" with the victory, especially after his three man break with Kannemeyer and Vasseur got caught with a few kilometres to go by another 13 riders. Kopp attacked again, and won alone.
