   Odense – Kobenhaven
  

  Sixteen teams found the courage to travel to the land of the Beast. Germany, England, Norway and Belgium Odense is the starting point of the first race after the famous Coupe of Nations. As one of the oldest cities in Denmark Odense is an interesting site since the dark and middle ages when pilgrims came to worship and praise first to Odin's shrine and later to Saint Canute in his cathedral. But the riders have no eye for this. They all want to finish in the capital of Denmark, Kopenhagen. And thus the race starts moving East, From Fyn to Sjealland. The group stayed together when they passed the Great Belt, the water between Odense and Kobenhaven. In the middle of Sjaelland the riders moved North. Where they had to round a local lap in Holbaek, for no particular reason. From Roskilde it was only a

short distance to Kobenhaven and the riders already got nervous. The big teams gathered in front.
  In the streets of Kobenhaven the pace was set and the riders passed the Royal Palace at a scorching pace. At the end France won beating Portugal and Spain in the end.
  The Valdermar Cup was held by Pierre-Antoine Deville (Mobylettes) while Germano Boaventura (Lusitano) Urbano Arzu (Team airik) were second and third.
  
   Göteborg ITT
  

  Division B has at the start of part two of their season. The teams have been invited in Goteborg, Sweden for the time trial race through the streets of the old town. As the city holds many one day events, such as this one, it is known as “Event City”. Being named after the Geats people the city itself was heavenly influence by

the Dutch. As some rider might realize when they ride this course. The city of Goteborg looks just like Amsterdam and the Asian riders feel it is like Jakarta in Indonesia. Besides the Dutch, we also see many Scottish influences, therefor Scotland would feel right at home in Göteborg. Starting at Gustav Adolfs torg moving south over Vastra Hammgatan the rider pass the southern part of the city before the move back to the finish line at Postgatan.
  The fastest time was set by Italy who was without competition as they took third place also. Sandwiched between two slick Italians was Turkey.
  Sandro Montelbano (Matrix team) was the hero of Sweden, Odabasi Zekeriya (Heroic Riders) settled in between while Gian Calliani (Welsh Phoenix) took third.
