American Tyler Farrar won the Vattenfall Clasic cycle race in Hamburg this afternoon.
The Garmin-Transisions rider (pictured below),who was forced out of the Tour De France with a broken elbow, was first over the line in a bunch sprint at the end of a 216km race which ended in the German city of Hamburg in a time of 5hr 2mins and 36 seconds.
Team Sky's Ed Boasson-Hagen was second with HTC Colombia's Andre Greipel in third.
Radio Shack rider Levi Leipheimer switched to the code of mountain bike racing and won the Leadville 100 yesterday in America.
With last year's winner Lance Armstrong withdrawing from the event, Leiphemer admitted to our friends at cyclingnews.com that he didn't know if he had suffered that much before, after winning the race entered by 1400 competitors from 20 countries in a time of 6hr 16 mins and 37 seconds, some 12 minutes quicker than Armstrong's time last year.
Leipheimer is to ride in the tour of Utah which starts on Tuesday.
