The pressure was on the top riders in tonight’s 13.6 kilometer flat time trial through the streets of Helsingør - home of Hamlet’s legendary castle of Kronborg. And it was a Danish youngster who took the stage win while another conquered the overall lead. CULT Energy Pro Cycling's Rasmus Guldhammer is now 4th overall.

CULT Energy Pro Cycling’s Mads Pedersen surprised everyone by crossing the finish line in second place. However, it was Rasmus Würtz (Coloquick) who destroyed the stage classification by thundering through the 13.6 kilometer long course in 15.45 minutes and no one was able to remove the young Dane from the hot seat.

Once again, CULT Energy’s Rasmus Guldhammer demonstrated high level consistency by doing a solid time trial and jumped to 4th position overall. New rider in the lead of race is Tinkoff-Saxo’s Christopher Juul-Jensen.

DS André Steensen says:

“We’re happy with the outcome of today’s time trial. Rasmus did his best time trial ever in Tour of Denmark and even climbed to 4th overall. It’s a very good result considering the quality riders in the peloton and I think we can be content with the result and especially the way we have been riding through the race so far. Furthermore, we have both Pedersen and Quaade in the top-10 today. Mads Würtz was absolutely flying out there and I think the entire stage result bodes well for the future of Danish cycling. Tomorrow, I expect the Tinkoff-Saxo squad to control the pace and the field in order to prevent a surprise attack."
