Belgian Bert Roesems (Palmans-Collstrop) is the first rider to wear the yellow jersey in the Postgirot Open, winning today's 12 kilometre time trial in Uppsala. Twice runner up in the Belgian time trial championships, Roesems won the stage 13 seconds ahead of German Sebastian Lang (Gerolsteiner), while third place went to one of the big pre race favourites Bart Voskamp (BankGiroLoterij).

Despite taking part in almost every edition of Postgirot Open, this victory is the first for Palmans-Collstrop.

The best Swedish rider was Team Crescent's Gustav Larsson who finished a creditable seventh place. The biggest Swedish favourite, Marcus Ljungqvist only managed 20th place, 46 seconds behind the stage winner.

Finland’s Kimmo Kananen (Team Mälarenergi) was the fastest young rider however, two seconds ahead of Larsson, and this classification will probably be the battle ground for the two rivalling Swedish third division teams. Mälarenergi has one up on Crescent with Kananen winning last week’s national stage race Cykeltouren a thin second ahead of Crescent’s Jonas Olsson.

The second stage of the day, stage 1B, Uppsala to Eskilstuna starts at 15.00.
