Brown wins the Commonwealth tester at the Tour de Delhi
Tour de Delhi, the first ever of its kind, was held in Delhi at the end of August 2010 after a successful Tour de Mumbai held in January. The race proved to be a great tester in light of the upcoming Commonwealth Games.
Report from www.cyclingnews.com
South Africa enjoyed a strong showing at the Tour de Delhi with Arran Brown claiming victory at the race from compatriot Malcolm Lange. The duo were part of a four-man group to finish the race together, with Maint Berkenbosch (Dutch National Team) and Kevin Maene (Belgian National Team) taking third and fourth respectively.
Kristof De Reeper (Belgian National Team) crossed the finish line alone in fifth place. Thijs Polestra (Dutch National Team) won the bunch sprint for sixth place, some 2:32 minutes behind Brown.
The race was staged as a test event for the Commonwealth Games road race, which will be held in October. While a small group proved successful at the test event, it’s expected a larger sprint finish will result at the Commonwealth Games thanks to the stronger national teams that will be present from the likes of Australia, Great Britain and Canada.
