Saxo Bank med to mand fremme i Taiwan

I år er etapeløbet Tour of Taiwan avanceret til et 2.1-løb, og det betyder et stærkere felt til start. Blandt de hold er danske Team Saxo Bank, der har taget fem mand med til løbet på den asiatiske ø i form af Takashi Miyazawa, Volodymir Gustov, Jonathan Cantwell, Lucas Sebastian Haedo og danske Christopher Juul Jensen.

Dagens etape blev kørt som et kriterium i Taipei City på en fuldstændig flad rute over 60 kilometer. Et udbrud på seks mand prægede etapen og formåede lidt overraskende at holde til mål.

Her viste Anthony Giacoppo (Genesys Wealth Advisers) sig som den stærkeste mand, da han slog Po Hung Wu (Team Senter-Merida) og Rhys Pollock (Drapac) som sine nærmeste konkurrenter. Saxo Banks japaner Takashi Miyazawa var også med i udbruddet, men fik kun en sjetteplads i udbytte.

Feltets spurt blev vundet af en anden Saxo Bank-rytter, nemlig Lucas Sebastian Haedo, der dermed fik kørt en syvendeplads hjem.

I morgen byder på en lettere kuperet etape, der godt kunne passe danske Christopher Juul Jensen, som sandsynligvis er holdets kaptajn i løbet.

Anthony Giacopo er naturligvis i førertrøjen efter dagens etape.
