Marcus Ljungqvist retains overall lead
Sweet and Voskamp win two stages
The leader's jersey holds special powers for those who wear it. We saw that in the Giro d'Italia, with Paolo Savoldelli putting down a great result in the time trial, and before that with Bart Voskamp flying in the same event in the Tour of Belgium. This rule also applied to the 4th stage of the Tour of Luxemburg.
Marcus Ljungqvist (Team EDS-fakta) was still leading the overall classement after the 3rd stage, ridden between Dudelange and Luxemburg (102 km), won by Australian Corey Sweet (Bankgiroloterij) in front of his companion in the break, another Danish Team EDS-fakta rider, Lennie Kristensen. The peloton sprinted 14 seconds later for the 3rd spot.
The time trial, disputed in the evening between 5pm and 7.30pm has given Yellow Jersey Marcus Ljungqvist the possibility of keeping hold of his substantial advance in general classification, thus almost ensuring himself of the overall victory in the 2002 edition of the Tour of Luxemburg.
Finishing only 24 seconds behind winner Bart Voskamp (Bankgiroloterij); Ljungqvist, so long as, Sunday's final stage passes without difficulties, will be receiving the trophy after finishing the last stage between Wiltz and Diekirch (166 km).
