[race news] Chrono des Nations 2007

Vladimir took a beautiful 5th place yesterday

from cyclingnews:

Vladimir Gusev (Discovery Channel) was probably the most frustrated rider of the weekend. Not only were the Russian's ambitions for the Giro di Lombardia ruined when Fränk Schleck (Team CSC) touched his wheel and crashed, the next day in Les Herbiers he went full gas but his derailleur got blocked on the 17-tooth sprocket and he couldn't use all of his power. "It's a pity what happened to me two days in a row because I was in the best form of my life, I'm even thinner now than in July for the Tour de France," noted the Russian TT champion, who finished fifth.
