Giro fever
2010-03-11
AUSTRIAN Rene Haselbacher (team Safindit.co.za) was the first cyclist across the finish line at the Pick n Pay Cape Argus Giro del Capo, which kicked off in Wellington on Tuesday. Malcolm Lange (Team Medscheme) and Burry Stander (Team Specialized) came second and third respectively. “It was a good first day. The race started off a little wet. There were very nasty crosswinds during the first 40kms and this split the bunch up quite a bit,” commented David Bellairs, co-director of the Cape Town Cycle Tour Trust. The 106km circular route is a constant climb and provided the 20 teams participating in the Giro with a tough start to the week. Yesterday cyclists set off from Vissershok Road, Durbanville for a 143km race and today’s third stage will kick off at 09:30 in Paarl (Market Street). The Stage 1 Results for the Pick n Pay Cape Argus Giro del Capo are as follows: 1. Rene Haselbacher (team Safindit.co.za Invitation - 2.30.40), 2. Malcolm Lange (team Medscheme - 2.30.41), 3. Burry Stander (team Specialized - 2.30.46). Pickfords Points: 1. Malcolm Lange (Medscheme - 11), 2. Rene Haselbacher (Safindit.co.za Invitation - 10), 3. Burry Stander (Team Specialized - 4).
