Espen Kragh claims his first title


  Espen Kragh, Team Specialized Cycling, had it all when the ending of Mayagüez - San Juan was near. With a perfect position in the peloton, all he had to do was timing his sprint - and he succeeded. As he raised his arms, he could look back and see Philip Collum and Arseny Dobrolyubov fighting for the second and third place several metres behind himself.
Espen Kragh wasn't surprised after winning Mayagüez - San Juan. I simply knew I could do it. I felt good all day, and when the end was there, I gave everything I had, said the confident winner.
Peder Dingo, manager of Team Specialized Cycling, was happy with the result: The whole team did well today. Everything turned out as we hoped, and luckily, Espen Kragh was the strongest rider out there today. The proud manager didn't hide that he was satisfied with Espen Kragh's result. Espen Kragh did well. No one deserved the victory more than him. He put his focus on this stage long ago, and he kept his motivation high. I'm happy for him and the team, said Peder Dingo.
