40th Antwerpen-Tielen
Antwerpen, August 15, 2002
Sean Sullivan wins Antwerpen-Tielen
Australian Sean Sullivan gave the field the slip, in the 40th edition of the Antwerpen - Tielen Interclub race in Belgium on Thursday.
Riding for the Dutch Bloks - Nijdam Team, Sullivan has added to his impressive list of wins this season which already includes Gent - Ieper, Challenge de Hesbaye, Omloop van de Braakman and second place overall in the Olympias Tour.
Sullivan was part of a group of six riders, who were 30seconds clear of the main bunch, and attacked his breakaway companions at 800m to go.
The small front group included former Japanese professional Ken Hashikawa and Domo amateur rider Nick Nuyens.
With Australian teammates Nathan Clarke and Nic Brown also finishing in the top 20, the Bloks - Nijdam squad won the teams classification of the race, beating Domo and ABX Go Pass.
An announcement on the makeup of next season's Blocks-Nijdam professional team is expected this week, with Sullivan sure to play a key role in the new division three squad.
