Helicopter crash mars ninth stage
A crash by a television helicopter during the ninth stage of the Peace Race caused major chaos at the 158 kilometre point when it landed in a garden right next to the peloton. Although one of the helicopter's blades fell 20 metres in front of the riders, fortunately neither the crew nor any of the riders was hurt.
The riders agreed reluctantly to finish the stage, but there was some indecision about whether the sprint should be contested. Both the Gerolsteiner and Telekom teams wanted to anul the stage altogether, but Andrus Aug (De Nardi) sprinted to win in front of Bobbie Traksel (Rabobank) and Jacek Mickiewicz (CCC-Polsat).
Roberto Bartko (Telekom) criticised them for doing so. "Some people did not hold to the agreement. The victor should be ashamed of himself," he said.
The rest of the stage was quite fast, with a number of attacks throughout. However, no-one could get away for long and it was all together when the helicopter crash forced a stoppage.
The leader on general classification remains Poland's Piotr Przydzial (CCC-Polsat) who has a three second advantage on his teammate Ondrej Sosenka. With a 35 kilometre individual time trial to conclude the Peace Race tomorrow, it will be close between Sosenka and Przydzial for the overall win.
