Day 3 - June 25: Elite Men & Women Road Races, 190/130 km
Renäng's biggest win
By Tommy Prim, Team Bianchi Nordic
|
Bianchi Nordic's Petter Renäng took his biggest career victory by winning the Swedish Championship in a four man sprint. The parcours was not the usual type of championship circuit but instead a road race with two loops around the Orsa lake via the feared Skeer Hills, with two passages up the Gesunda Hill, a local slalom slope, thrown in for good measure at the beginning and towards the end of the race.
The first serious attack came after the first Gesunda passage when eleven riders got a gap. Bianchi Nordic was well represented with Mikael Segersäll (as usual), Mattias Carlsson and Jesper Ingevaldsson from Bianchi, while John Nilsson (Auber 93) was the only continental pro in the group. The break got at most five minutes to the peloton where the "continentals" had to do most of the job.
With their mates up the road, Renäng and Bianchi's other major favourite, Jonas Holmkvist, had a nice ride in the peloton that didn't catch the breakaways until 65 kilometres remained in the race.
With 40 km to go, the final selection was made with all the favourites: Thomas Lövkvist (FDJeux.com), Marcus Ljungqvist (Alessio-Bianchi), Stefan Adamsson (Barloworld) as well as Petter Renäng and once again Mattias Carlsson of Team Bianchi Nordic.
On the way to the final climb up the Gesunda Hill, Mattias Carlsson put in a couple of attacks forcing the pro's to chase. At the foot of the hill everyone expected Lövkvist to attack but instead it was Renäng who found the tempo too slow.
Only Lövkvist and Ljungqvist managed to follow over the hill and on the way down, Christoffer Stevensson also managed to join the trio. The group worked well together and an exciting sprint was expected on Sollerön's feared and famous uphill finish.
Once again Renäng attacked some kilometres from the finish, but Ljungqvist managed to cover and tried a counter-attack that Stevensson covered in turn.
With two kilometres remaining it was Lövkvist's time to try an attack but again Stevensson caught him coming in on the finishing straight with Ljungqvist and Renäng in tow. From his fourth position, Renäng passed them all for his first elite road race title (he won the crit title last year) to wear the blue and yellow champion's jersey for a year.
