Stage win for Estevan Criville


  Even though several riders tried to break away, no one managed to keep it going in Heights of Verkhniy Muzkhul. The strongest riders in the peloton stayed together in the leading group. The finishing climb became a secretion of riders, until Estevan Criville (Wittenau) and Donatello Zamorano (SsebasS85) were alone in the front. As it looked as they were heading for a sprint on the top, Donatello Zamorano suddenly could follow Estevan Criville who climbed the final kilometre alone. The audience cheered as Estevan Criville crossed the line with his arms raised high. Donatello Zamorano came in a little later as second. The third place were terminated by a group of 4 who sprinted a long. Ingemann Voss was fastest in the group, and safely took the third place.
I'm still in shock. When the attack started earlier today, I didn't expect to end up as winner, said the happy Wittenau rider, Estevan Criville. Only at the very end, I realized that this could be my chance, and so it was.
Wittenau's manager, Wittenauer, was satisfied after the result in Heights of Verkhniy Muzkhul. Estevan Criville did very well today. Everything turned out as we planned it, and Estevan Criville had the power to win, said the manager.
