Stage 5 - December 20: Uttaradit - Phayao, 208 km

Van Ruitenbeek claims penultimate stage


By CYCLINGNEWS Steve Thomas

Three stages of around 200 kilometres each have made this year's Tour of Thailand something of a marathon event. Today's 208 kilometre stage was another hilly race, although nothing like as tough as the previous day.

Needles to say there were a lot of tired legs on the start line, but it didn't stop some eager early attacks. By the time the climbing started things had settled down to a more reasonable pace.

Towards the end of the race a small group of three riders slipped off the front, with Sengas -Kyota rider Malaya Van Ruitenbeek sprinting home to take the stage. There was no change to the leading overall positions, leaving Iranian rider Ahad Sarai Kazemi (Tabriz Petrochem) with a four second lead over Tonton Susanto (Faeso Denmark) heading into the final stage to Chiang Mai.

  連續三場超過200公里的距離,使得今年的環泰成為慘絕人寰的耐久賽。本站的208公里同樣會有爬坡路段,幸好坡度不像昨天那樣的變態。

  幾天的比賽下來不累才怪,但還是有選手一起跑就發動攻擊,直到開始爬坡時,整個集團的節奏才趨於平穩。

  三名選手所形成的領先集團衝刺進入終點,聖格斯車隊的選手馬拉亞奪得本站冠軍,但這並未對於總排名造成威脅。距離比賽結束剩下最後一站,伊朗的歐哈德和蘇東東之間仍有4秒領先的差距。
