Nielsen and Erlandsson win opener of new Danish series
By Michael Borup
More than 70 riders from six different countries travelled to Copenhagen for the first round of a new Danish MTB Series, MTB Shimanoliga.
In the men's event, the battle for victory quickly developed to a battle between reigning Danish champion Klaus Nielsen (Pronghorn Racing) and strong Swede Mathias Wengelin (Cykloteket Racing Team). Wengelin was racing in Copenhagen after a series of top-five finishes earlier this season at the Sunshine Cup in Cyprus, where some of the strongest European riders traditionally test themselves.
The two riders broke away from the start and followed each other initially. Nielsen tended to lead, but a strong looking Wengelin hung tough on his wheel. Unfortunately, Wengelin had to deal with a puncture, which gave Nielsen the lead that he sustained until the finish. In spite of Wengelin's mechanical, he managed to hang onto second place after a close battled with Benjamin Justesen (Team T-bikes), who ended up third. Fourth and fifth went to Allan Qvortrup Bachman (Team Webike Vision) and Lars Bleckur (Cykloteket Racing Team).
In the women's race was, the otherwise dominant Annika Langvad (HMTBK) also suffered a mechanical. Therefore, Åsa Erlandson (Varberg MTB) found herself with the chance to take a win ahead of Signe Standvig (AMK).
In the junior category, Jonas Pedersen (Team T-bikes) took an expected victory in front of Kristian Axelsen (Team Rivette). Pedersen led the race from start to finish and won convincingly. Impressively Pedersen has not lost a race in the junior category in over a year. Frederik Kjeldsen (Team T-bikes) took third place.
The next round of the series will happen on May 10 in Silkeborg.
