Brilliant debut for Eaton Parriott


  Early on the stage, five optimistic riders attacked on the first climbs of Albacete-Madrid. They managed to keep a gap between them and the peloton until they reached the final climb. At the bottom of the climb, the group of favourites passed them. Rider by rider, they couldn't keep up with the tempo set by Bilsky, who were supporting James Haydon. Right behind the riders of Bilsky was Eaton Parriott and Miguel Lourenço lurking. James Haydon looked strong, and seemed to have a good day, but when Miguel Lourenço launched an attack, only Eaton Parriott could follow. Eaton Parriott made a counter-attack and was suddenly alone in the front, as James Haydon caught up Miguel Lourenço once again. Eaton Parriott secured his victory without problems, while James Haydon was faster in the sprint than Miguel Lourenço.
Eaton Parriott was happy for his efforts today. It was a tough day today, but with the result of it, it suddenly feels like nothing. I'm so happy I won today. I didn't expect it at all, said the pleased winner.
It's good to see Eaton Parriott fulfilling his ambitions winning this stage. He deserves the victory more than anyone else, said the proud manager of 1 2 Cycle, Mark Marakus, and continued: The team was a good support for him (Eaton Parriott) today, and he clearly proved his worth in the break away today.
