Complete domination by Team PH
By Jean-Francois Quenet in Hønefoss
The Danish TT3 PH made it a hat-trick when Jacob Moe Rasmussen won stage 3 in the Ringerike Grand Prix today, following the path of his team-mates Mads Christensen and Matti Breschel. Rasmussen led a bunch sprint from a long way out and no one was able to overtake him. Swedish champion Jonas Holmkvist from Team Bianchi Scandinavia was second, a strong performance for a rider who only started his season in the only Norwegian UCI sanctioned race this week.
Holmkvist, the defending champion of the Ringerike GP was forced out of competition during the early season by a knee injury. He had an operation and now looks able to repeat his success in the national championship against Paris-Roubaix winner Magnus Backsted and Fdjeux.com's sensation of the year Thomas Lövkvist.
Since he won stage 1, Christensen leads the Ringerike GP with 30 sec advantage on Norwegian Morten Hegreberg while Englishman Jonathan Dayus who is no stranger to this race lays in third place 32 sec down. "I believe Mads will be able to keep the lead till the end", Rasmussen reckons.
Christensen is only 20 years of age. When he's not wearing the Ringerike the yellow jersey, he carries the Danish national champion jersey for the Under 23 category. Team PH is a group of young guns who have worked hard every day to defend the lead and Rasmussen, 29, is their captain, sharing his experience of 6 years as a professional with Acceptcard, CSC and Fakta. "Now I am an amateur again but I enjoy it a lot", he said after winning in Hønefoss.
The race remains open to 10 contenders for the overall classification. Since the hill climb finish of Ringkollen, won by Dayus in the past two years, isn't on the map of the race anymore, the final circuit on Sunday with the ascension of Ripperbakken 5 times should be crucial with a fantastic suspense till the end.
