Kasseler Hügel gets settled by Abraham Dawes


  The activity in the peloton was high in Kasseler Hügel. Several riders attempted to break away. When the peloton passed the first 13 km, Lasse Parts (Skeel), Abraham Dawes, (Opium Fueled) and Emrick Hellenga (pollyjean) launched an attack. The peloton didn't take the attack too serious, which resulted in the trio fighting for the stage win. Abraham Dawes won the sprint in the group, and became the happy winner of Kasseler Hügel. Emrick Hellenga was second, and Lasse Parts third.
I'm still in shock. When the attack started earlier today, I didn't expect to end up as winner, said the happy Opium Fueled rider, Abraham Dawes. Only at the very end, I realized that this could be my chance, and so it was.
It's good to see Abraham Dawes fulfilling his ambitions winning this stage. He deserves the victory more than anyone else, said the proud manager of Opium Fueled, Oriental, and continued: The team was a good support for him (Abraham Dawes) today, and he clearly proved his worth in the break away today.
