Piotr Przydzial shows super form to take final stage and overall
 |
Piotr Przydzial (CCC-Polsat) has won both the final time trial stage and the overall victory in the 55th edition of the Peace Race.
Przydzial started the day just three seconds ahead of team-mate Ondrej Sosenka, but turned out a brilliant display of focus against-the-clock to edge out Sosenka by just four seconds.
He was motivated by the Pace race's history of victories by riders from the former USSR and East Germany. Przydzial, who hails from Poland, said, "It annoyed me that the Peace race had always been won by riders from the DDR and USSR. I wanted to change that."
Sosenka was disappointed but gracious in defeat, "I gave my maximum, but Piotr has top form while I am only at 90 percent."
While CCC-Polsat's grip on the top two podium spots was unaffected by the final time trial, the third place changed hands after Aitor Garmendia (Coast) profited from a mechanical problem that struck previous overall third-place Jakob Piil (CSC Tiscali).
Bogdan Bondariew (Mroz) took third place in the stage, benefiting from good conditions early in the race.
At a press conference immediately before the stage, the organisers announced that the two-man crew of the helicopter that crashed the previous day would remain in hospital until Monday. However, their injuries were not serious.
Footnote: Winner Piotr Przydzial was later disqualified for doping, and his teammate Ondrej Sosenka was awarded the win.
