Monday, February 09, 2009
Langkawi, Malaysia - Lead by Director Sportif Johnny Weltz, the Garmin/Slipstream squad of Ricardo van der Velde, Christian Meier, Cameron Meyer, Chris "CJ" Sutton, Lucas Euser and Timmy Duggan opened the Tour of Langkawi in fine form.
CJ grabbed a big 2nd place finish in the opening 133K stage of the 7-day 2.HC affair. All the others finished in the bunch and with the same time. This is how CJ reported on the day and the sprint finish:
“The boys were awesome today. I hope the best is yet to come. There are a few more sprint stages left so I’ll have another crack. I would love to grab a win here.”
CJ will start day two in the green sprinters jersey.
