Norway's Kurt-Asle Arvesen etched his name in Danish cycling history books over the weekend, with the Team CSC rider becoming the first rider in the Tour of Denmark's 22-year history to stand atop the podium on multiple occasions. Arvesen claimed the 2007 edition by some 14 seconds over Italian Enrico Gasparotto (Liquigas), while his Team CSC team-mate Matti Breschel took third place overall.
"It's a great feeling to be the first to win twice, but just like the last time I won it's more than anything a team effort," said Arvesen. "There's not a lot of opportunity for attack, when we have such strong people at the front of the peloton. Matti [Breschel], Nicki [Sørensen] and I were equally strong and they could just as easily have won this race. In the end it was decided by the time trial."
