Jakob Piil increases lead as Arvesen wins stage
By Tomas Nilsson, Cyclingnews correspondent

EDS-fakta's Kurt Asle Arvesen won the third stage of Post Danmark Rundt by outsprinting yellow jersey Jacob Piil in a two up sprint. The breakaway move came after a late attack by Piil, who has an even firmer grip on the yellow leader's jersey.
Paolo Bettini didn't take the start today, due to tendon problems. He missed the cut in the cross winds of the first stage and was more than 25 minutes behind in the general classification. His participation in the Championship of Zurich must therefore be in doubt.
A couple of early attacks were taken down by yellow jersey defenders CSC-Tscali in a fast and unruly first half hour. Innar Mandoja gained another 10 points and secured the lead in the mountains competition by winning the first mountain prime (or hill sprint as the Danes more correctly call them).
After some 40 km a group of five strong riders Mattan (Cofidis), Bodrogi, Aggiano (both Mapei), Engoulvent and Joly (both Bonjour) finally got a gap. The two Mapei's were the only ones within reach of the yellow jersey at 1.16 in the general classification, but also Mattan did a good part of the job. At Silkeborg the gap was almost minute and at the second hill sprint after 58.8 km, won by Bodrogi, the gap was 1.27. But the speed was high and took its toll on the breakaways, or maybe the Mapeis just wanted to put some pressure on CSC to wear the Danes a bit. Bodrogi and Aggiano fell back, and soon only Mattan and Joly remained after 83 km with 100 to go. The gap: 1.15 and shrinking. Mattan took the third hill sprint at Yding skovhøj at 99.9 km before being caught.
Andrea Tafi (Mapei), Robert Bartko (Telekom) and Sylvain Chavanel (Bonjour) attacked the peloton with Tyler Hamilton (CSC) tagging along. Tafi in seventh position overall attempted to wear down overall leader Piil (CSC), and thus clear the way for the team's main TT rider Bodrogi on the TT stage later on. They also have young Fabian Cancellara within reach of the yellow jersey. Tafi might also try to win the "fighter's" classification where he gained some points yesterday. After a while also Tyler Hamilton started working in the group. He has won the race before and might do it again if Tafi is his main opponent at the start of the ITT.

However the quartet was caught at 125 kilometres. It was gruppo compatto for a while but obviously the race is a CSC-Tiscali vs. Mapei duel so far. With Michael Sandstød injured at the Tour, the Danes will have to rely on Hamilton and Blaudzun for the TT, but Piil's lead by more than a minute could be enough for the 16 kilometres against the clock Friday evening.
Alexandre Usov (Phonak) won the first bonus sprint at Dortheasminde, 132 km, and shortly thereafter the peloton split in three. Yellow jersey Jakob Piil managed to make in to the front group with about 25 other riders, among them Michaelsen, Höj (both Coast), Allan Johansen (EDS) Aggiano (Mapei), Magnien (Bonjour), Usov (Phonak), Charrierre (Phonak), Hayman (Rabobank) all from the front group of the first stage. Mathew Hayman (Rabobank) took the fourth and final hill sprint at 148 km
The bonus sprint at Nørre Vilstrup on the way in to finishing town Vejle was won by Jacob Piil who gained another three bonus seconds ahead of Renier (Bonjour) and Höj. He then attacked and was accompanied by EDS-fakta;s Norwegian Kurt Asle Arvesen and they passed the finishing line, with three laps to go with a 10 seconds gap and they managed to hold the chasers off. Arvesen won the sprint and thus gained four seconds on Piil but the latter has really strengthen his position in the general classification. Emmanuel Magnien (Bonjour) grabbed third.
