Vattenfall Cyclassics
A crash by Belgian Wouter Weylandt
with just 3 kilometres to go brought to an end what was turning out
to be a good race by Koen, and all hope of a good stage placing was
quashed in the ProTour Classic Vattenfall Cyclassics in Hamburg,
Germany. Koen had to pull the brakes completely to avoid falling.
In the end he finished in a disillusioned 90th place.
