Bernhard Eisel wins 'Select' Classic-Gleisdorf

Bernhard Eisel won his first victory as a professional, with the 15th International "Select" Radclassic Gleisdorf race over 162 kilometres. The 21 year old Mapei-Quick Step Espoir, in his second year as a pro, beat Ralph Scherzer (ELK-Haus) in the final sprint, and Slovenian Robert Glazja (Podbrezova) who finished 3 second behind.

The race that took place in and around Graz was decided 20 kilometres from the finish line, when at the head of the peloton a group of 13 was formed; on the last uphill section, 10 kilometres from the finish, Eisel, Scherzer and Glazja started to increase the pace, quickly leaving behind them the rest of the group. On the slightly downhill final sprint, Eisel didn't have any difficulty in getting the better of his two breakaway companions.

Thanks to today's win, Eisel is also leading the special Austrian Cup Challenge.
