Today Loh Sea Keong won the leader price in the criterium of Bladel (Netherlands). With several attacks he made it in the 7 rider break-away, staying away all race. Loh tried to get away a few times, but in the final sprint he became 6th. However he won the well deserved leader price for the rider who catches the most points passing the finish line as first.

Haidar Anuawar was almost caught behind a crash, but made it through and had to chase the first part of the peloton within the last kilometre. But still got a nice 16th place.

Leon van Bon (Trek – Marco Polo Cycling Team) won stage 8 of the Tour de Korea. He was present in a group of 15 riders that escaped after 5 kms in the 195 km long stage to Yangyang. As the stage did have two big mountains in it, Leon first didn’t really believe in his chances. By setting the pace on the climbs for the group, Leon managed to survive the two climbs and win the stage with his trade mark – a long sprint.
