Marco Polo team report

|
The general classification was set and the Russian team left no room for any surprises. Only the sprint jersey is still open. But Danish big guy Max Nielsen made it clear that he is the one that is going to take this one home. He won the first intermediate points sprint, and when later in the race some riders were in breaks, he also took the left over points at those intermediate sprints.
The race ended in a bunch sprint where the Russians led out with their whole team. The Danes came up next to them, but Sergey Kudentsov won the stage clearly ahead of Max Nielsen and Marcel Sieberg. The final general classification of the Tour of South China Sea 2004 is: first Alexander Hatuntsev, second Derek (Ngai Ching) Wong and third Kam Po Wong.
