Stage 6 - January 25: Kanchanaburi – Phetchaburi, 186.4 km
Soepenberg wins final stage; Crawford hangs on to the yellow jersey
|
After losing the orange jersey yesterday due to a bad crash inside the last kilometer, Dutch sprinter Ger Soepenberg (Altipower) finished this year's Tour of Siam today as he started-with a win. The 186 kilometer closing stage from Kanchanaburi to Phetchaburi ended with a mass sprint in which Soepenberg was the fastest. He celebrated his victory in Cipollini style.
Eight riders had the luck to fight it out for the final stage. They broke away early in the race and built up a four minute lead, but their effort was insufficient to stay away. The bunch brought them back with 20 kilometers to go.
The overall wins went to Jai Crawford and his Giant Asia Team. Today, they along with the Australian National Track Endurance Team, controlled the race perfectly and blocked all the powerful attacks by the Japanese riders.
