Happy Denis Tikhonov after first win


  Three riders attacked on the stage of Delamere Park Criterium after 28 km. The riders were good at cooperating until 15 km before the ending of the stage. Arnfinn Petersen from team barolo could not follow Darius Hedeler (Casinoto) and Denis Tikhonov (Baltimore Knights) who increased the speed. The two leading riders launched the sprint, which Denis Tikhonov had completely under control. Denis Tikhonov won the stage with Darius Hedeler right behind him. Arnfinn Petersen, who couldn't keep the high tempo of the other two kept this third place.
Denis Tikhonov didn't hide his happiness for winning the stage. I have dreamed of this for long. My result today proves that hard training is worth it, said the cheerful winner, who yet has no current plans for the next race to strike at.
The stage couldn't turn out any better than this. Denis Tikhonov did a perfect job today, said Thompson, manager of Baltimore Knights, after the race.
