Team CSC's Bobby Julich took the overall victory in Criterium International after winning the decisive time trial, dominated by his team CSC, with teammates Jens Voigt and Kurt-Asle Arvesen placing second and third. "It was as if my legs did all the work by themselves in the time trial," Julich said. "I could feel it was my day, even though the course was quite difficult due to the rain," he added, feeling very happy for his recent successes.
"It's as if I'm riding a wave after Paris-Nice, and I really feel I have the opportunity to make up for the years, when nothing was going right for me. This proves, you have to stay focused. Bjarne has given me confidence, and also I'm part of a team, which is like one big family. I couldn't ask for anything more," he explained.
