Taking no risk on the wet surface

The German rider Voss of Milram won the opening prologue of the Tour of Catalan. Roman finished in the 17th position, 8 seconds behind the winner.

"I was feeling relatively good. The prologue was very technical at the beginning and since it was raining all the time, it was rather dangerous to pass around the corners. I prefered not to take any risks on the wet roads unlike some others, that‘s why I picked up the extra seconds. But it's no big deal, the gaps are minimal and a prologue is not the decisive part of the race," Roman said. 
Results (3.6 km): 1st Voss (Ger/Milram) 4:47, 2nd Leipheimer (USA/Radioshack) +1, 3rd Klöden (Ger/Radioshack) +2, 4th Nerz (Ger/Milram), 5th Bakelandts (Bel/Lotto) oba +4, ...17th Roman Kreuziger (Cze/Liquigas-Doimo) +8.
