2nd Ronde van het Groene Hart - 1.1Netherlands, March 23, 20082007 Results Results Past winners
Easy sprint win for powerful VaitkusBy Susan Westemeyer Team Astana may not be invited to the big races, but it is taking advantage of the races it rides. Tomas Vaitkus easily won the sprint in the Ronde van het Groene Hart in the Netherlands. Last year's winner Wouter Weylandt (Quick Step) was second and Bobbie Traksel of Team P3 Transfer-Batavus finished third. The race was made difficult by the weather, which featured sunshine, wind, cold, rain and even snow. A group of four riders got away after 35 kilometres, and Jens Mouris (Mitsubishi-Jartazi), Dennis Smit (Dutch National Team), Eelke Van Der Wal (Krolstone) and Maurice Vrijmoed (Van Vliet-EBH Elshof) were able to stay away for about 50 kilometres. Multiple attacks broke the peloton in several groups with about five kilometres to go. Niko Eeckhout (Topsport Vlaanderen) led the first group into the mass sprint, but Vaitkus was able to charge out of third place and power his way over the finish line, a good two bike lengths ahead of Weylandt.
