Haedo Won ahead of Goss in Philadelphia
[10.06 20:51] This Sunday Team CSC's Argentinean sprinter Juan Jos� Haedo took his sixth victory of the season, when he crossed the finish line in the American street race, Philadelphia International Championship, which is part of Commerce Bank Triple Crown. The victory was all the more sweet because teammate Matthew Goss took the second place ahead of T-Mobile's Bernhard Eisel, who has just won two American races.
"It was a perfect day for us � we were part of all the breaks and what a pay off!" said a happy Scott Sunderland after the race.
"JJ has been having a bit of a tough time lately. He was a bit disappointed about his performance in Giro d'Italia and hasn't regained his strength in the first couple of races over here. But I said to him to try and make a couple of the early breaks and then see what happened. Later on he was told to get ready for the sprint, while almost everybody was up to something. The team work today was superb," continued Sunderland.
"In the end Goss joined Haedo in the sprint and he did well enough for them to take the first and second place. So now JJ has truly earned the two weeks vacation, which he'll be taking in Argentina from tomorrow," finished Sunderland, who praised the whole team for its efforts.
