« Race Details


Stage 1:    Full Results and Report

2010 ends in a bunch sprint with five riders. That's Daniel Oss (Liquigas) at the rear of this group who's hidden in the next photo.

As cyclingnews commented, "Bernhard Eisel (HTC-Columbia) let George Hincapie (BMC) lead out the sprint and then hit the front hard with two hundred metres to go. It was still a little early but Eisel is an excellent sprinter and had the speed to beat Sep Vanmarke (Topsport-Vlaanderen) and Philippe Gilbert (Omega Pharma-Lotto). Hincapie held on to take fourth.".
