Stage win for Scott Kasprowicz


  Even though several riders tried to break away, no one managed to keep it going in Rana-Saltdal. The strongest riders in the peloton stayed together in the leading group. The finishing climb became a secretion of riders, until Scott Kasprowicz (Krusevac cycling team) and Bogoljub Ždrale (Krusevac cycling team) were alone in the front. As it looked as they were heading for a sprint on the top, Bogoljub Ždrale suddenly could follow Scott Kasprowicz who climbed the final kilometre alone. The audience cheered as Scott Kasprowicz crossed the line with his arms raised high. Bogoljub Ždrale came in a little later as second. The third place were terminated by a group of 4 who sprinted a long. Folkert Waesbergen was fastest in the group, and safely took the third place.
Scott Kasprowicz was happy for his efforts today. It was a tough day today, but with the result of it, it suddenly feels like nothing. I'm so happy I won today. I didn't expect it at all, said the pleased winner.
Krusevac cycling team's manager, Marko Vukojevic, was satisfied after the result in Rana-Saltdal. Scott Kasprowicz did very well today. Everything turned out as we planned it, and Scott Kasprowicz had the power to win, said the manager.
