José Joaquín Rojas comes close

The young Spaniard of Murcia, José Joaquín Rojas, took the second place of the third stage of the Tour of Poland, and is happy with his form. Despite bad organization and a slight lack of power in the engine room, the Caisse d'Epargne rider finished behind German David Kopp (Gerolsteiner) and Belgian Wouter Weylandt (Quick.Step - Innergetic) after 192.2 kilometres of racing.

"I was very close to victory," explained Rojas after he crossed the line in Gdansk. "The finish was very complicated because of the bad organization. At one kilometre and a half from the line, there was a car in the middle of the road, which obliged us to pass over the rails of the tram."
