Yesterday’s 108 kilometer, 2 hour 26 minute,
opening stage of the 22nd 
Trofeo Karlsberg was plagued by torrential rains and strong winds. Throughout most of the race the peloton, of 21 teams from 20 nations, remained together. The large group of junior cyclists quickly nullified any attempts to escape. In the final kilometers a group of 5 managed to gain 15 seconds on the field. As the riders approached the finish the break was pulled back to within 500 meters. Barry Markus, with a quick sprint, takes the win from the break of 5, followed closely by Daniel Freitag of Purtugal and Matvey Zubov of Russia.
