GP Midtbank, Cat 1.5

Denmark, May 11 1997

Report

After his hat trick in Denmark Riis said he would have to keep a low profile until the start of the Tour de France in July. Going for the victory in each race will simply not work for him, but now his hunger for victories has been settled for a while. Riis will ride one last race in Denmark (GP Triax on May 12th) before heading towards France.

Race Distance: 212 km
