\n A 10-year drought ends for Sweden as S\u00f6derqvist triumphs in Tour of Denmark time trial\n <\/p>\n

Jakob S\u00f6derqvist came out on top in the hotly-contested third stage time trial at the Tour of Denmark. Winning in the Swedish national colors, he finally put an end to the \u00a010 year wait for a Swedish professional victory. S\u00f6derqvist completed the 14km course six seconds ahead of second-placed Alec Segeart (Lotto), and 14 seconds ahead of teammate and GC leader Mads Pedersen.<\/p>\n

Heading into tomorrow\u2019s queen stage in Vejle, Pedersen has a 10 second advantage in the general classification. Not far behind is S\u00f6derqvist (3rd, 34\u201d), S\u00f8ren Kragh Andersen (8th, 1\u201901\u201d), and Mattias Skjelmose, who was victim of a crash on Stage 2 (11th, 1\u201904\u201d).<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a good day for Sweden in Denmark!\u201d said Jakob S\u00f6derqvist. \u201cWe haven\u2019t been a strong name in cycling in the last decade or so, but it\u2019s really nice to be able to grab a win like this and also show it in the national jersey makes it almost twice as special. On this day we try to celebrate Swedish cycling in a country where cycling has grown really big in the last couple of years.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was short enough to not be too much about pacing. I went out aggressive, and I tried to finish aggressive, but maybe I could have spent a little bit more in the tougher headwind parts, but this is a small detail for the next races. I tried to get into the TT mindset again after not too many races this season and I\u2019m trying to make everything perfect ahead of Worlds, but I think we are on a good way.\u201d<\/p>\n
