Stage 5 - November 8: Danzhou - Dongfang, 168 km
By Remko Kramer in Dongfang
|
The first mountains awaited the riders in stage 5. The peloton started slow upon leaving the city of Danzhou after the start. Many spectators waved at the peloton and in every village there were huge crowds cheering the race. At times, there were more then 10 music and dance groups celebrating this cycling event.
Five riders attacked and gained two minutes. Mikhail Antonov (Russian National Team) claimed the mountains jersey, but after three mountains, a large group chased down the break. Then a few more smaller groups of riders also bridged up.
Yellow jersey Jenis Galimzyanov (Russian National Team) missed the break as well as one of the favourites from Giant Asia, Hossein Askari. A group of 44 riders took more then 10 minutes.
The Discovery Channel Marco Polo Team worked to keep the group together and the Intel Action Team led out Robert Radosz who won the stage. Second place was Myitaka Shimizu (Nippo Corporation) and Sergey Kudentsov (Discovery Channel Marco Polo) came in third. Kudentsov took over the yellow jersey.
The awards ceremony was held in Dongfang's city center where many waited to watch the winners on the podium or to get an autograph or touch a rider or bicycle.
