HTC-Columbia's Mark Renshaw has sprinted to his first victory of 2010 ahead of his teammate Matt Goss in the Tour of Denmark's stage four.  The two riders crossed the line with their arms in the air, with Renshaw securing the team's second win of the Danish race at the end of a 99.2 kilometre stage from Nyborg to Odense.

Although there was a four man break early on, the move was brought back in time to set things up for a bunch sprint. And after Goss's victory on stage one, on stage four it was Renshaw's turn to get the winner's bouquet.  As Brian Holm, HTC-Columbia's sports director at Denmark, said later, Renshaw's victory was a great reward for one of the team's key support workers.

"It's always really good when one of the guys who does a lot of work for another rider gets a chance to shine in his own right like today, and taking first and second for the team is something special, too.  The whole team went to the front with three laps to go, and I think they won the stage quite easily.  The key was HTC-Columbia moved to the head of the race at the right time, and set things up perfectly for Mark and Matt.  Mark is in good shape at the moment, that's pretty clear, and we're sure he'll be getting back up there in the future as well."

In a great day's racing for HTC-Columbia, Renshaw's victory took place a few hours before teammate André Greipel secured a bunch sprint win in the Tour of Poland.
