Kohl wins Austrian road title

By Susan Westemeyer

T-Mobile's Bernhard Kohl won the Austrian road title in Salzburg, on a course that is based on that for the World's this coming September. It was the 24 year-old's second big career victory, after his third place overall in the Dauphine Libéré.

"I had the necessary patience today and got away with the right group," he said. In the fifth of nine laps, he broke away with Harald Morscher of Team Volksbank and Harald Totschnig and Thomas Rohregger, both of Team Elk Haus.

"We worked together well," Kohl said, "and so we were able to get quickly away from the field. I knew that I wouldn't have any chance in a sprint again Harald Morscher, so I tried to get away." Over the last five km he tried consistently to get away from his three companions, and finally was able to, building up a tiny lead. Morscher was second and Totschnig third, both four seconds behind the winner.

"I'm in top form right now," the happy winner noted. "That's something special, when you stand on the podium and hear the national anthem." He looks forward to the red-white-red jersey: "That's a great honour for me. I will be representing Austria in the whole world."
