Taking Them to the Top O21-1
The day started with the common early break away comprised of a United Nations of cyclist from around the world. For most of these guys, it was the only way the world would know that they had been in the Olympics at all. Better to go out and attack the day then hang in the middle of the peloton only to be kicked out the back when the aggression starts. The early break of five included Polychronis Tzortzkis (Greece), Orlvis Avlar (Venezula), Nic Dlamini (South Africa), the other Sagan - Jurgai (Slovakia) and Michael Kukrle (Czech Repulic). They build up a twenty minute lead on the peloton of starts, before the race behind got rather serious.
