Kersten flys to Singapore win

Witha dangerous break hanging out front of the hard chasing peloton inside5 laps to go of the 38 lap race, Kersten's teammates had to go intooverdrive to reel the dangerous move in.

Scott Law, Hayden Brooks and Pat Shaw provided the horsepower and with just 300 meters to go the dangerous move was neutralized.

TheAustralian said, “It was looking touch and go in the last few laps butwith a lap remaining I thought we had done enough to challenge for thesprint. I positioned myself well and once the break was caught Ifocused on the sprint.

I went at 150 meters to go and had the speed to get there first.”

“Thepressure was on us as we had arguably two of the best sprinters in thefield with Kersten and Law. Law is a name to watch and at just 18 yearsof age has tremendous natural ability," said Team DS Henk Vogels.

"Benny really impressed me with the confidence and condition he displayed today.”
