Danish junior Emil Hovmand raced to victory in the 4th and final stage of the Trofeo Karlsberg. Hovmand crossed the line alone, 7 seconds ahead of the charging field. This 7 second advantage combined with the 10 second time bonus for the stage victory were enough to give Hovmand the overall tour victory by a 2 second margin. Second place on the day was the Dutchman Dylan van Baarte with Nikia Arndt capturing third.
After wearing the green sprinter’s jersey for 3 days straight, Austrian Marco Haller relinquished the overall sprinter’s title to Alexy Lutsenko of Kazakhstan.
The polka dot climber’s jersey is awarded to
Zico Waeytens of Belgium.
The narrow margin of victory by Hovmand is reflective of how closely matched these junior bike racers from around the world actually are. Riders from the Netherlands, Italy and Denmark won stages. Riders representing Austria, United States, Italy, Netherlands and Belgium wore the red, green and polka dot jerseys awarded during the event.
