Is this a bad time to mention that mr Bos seems to have recovered quite quickly from his mental scars?! Bos wins after turbulent week <?: prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> Theo Bos of Continental Team Rabobank brought in his first pro win on Sunday in the Ronde van Noord-Holland, just one week after his controversial finale in the Tour of Turkey, when he brought down Tour leader Daryl Impey. Sunday's finish was a mass sprint, as was the race finish the previous week. Impey, who went on to win the Tour of Turkey, was seriously injured in a crash only 800 metres before the finish line, when Bos brought him down. Bos said, "I absolutely needed this win. The week was very difficult. I could think of nothing other than last Sunday." The 24 year-old used the race on Sunday "to blow off some steam. And if you can win then, that is extra good." Bos said that he did not hear any negative comments from colleagues about the Turkey incident. "I hear a lot of riders say they are persuaded that I did not take Impey down on purpose. And also that they can fully understand what happens in a sprint at full speed." He has already sent Impey an email, Bos noted, "and that contact was not unpleasant. I will call him soon. I hope that he gets well quickly." (SW)
