Ljungqvist does it again

Sweden's Marcus Ljunqvist (Team fakta) showed his blue and yellow champion's jersey again crossing the finishing line in France, winning the Route Adélie, round 5 of the Coupe de France. Ljunqvist followed his Paris-Camembert victory with another, this time beating Stéphane Heulot (Big Mat) and Laurent Brochard (Jean Delatour) in a medium sized group sprint.

The race, which featured several attacks, was marked by a three man breakaway containing Jørgen-Bo Petersen (Team fakta), German Fabian Wegmann (Gerolsteiner) and Rossano Brasi (De Nardi). Petersen stayed away for the longest, but was eventually caught and the race finished with 8 men fighting it out for the win.

The quickest was once again Ljungqvist, who has been in sterling form this week and may try for the triple in Sunday's GP Rennes.
