Sanchx's Egons Dzirnavnieks wins


  The tough and steep time trial, Jamundi Uphill, was very exciting, as nothing was termined before the final riders finished. Placido Meci (Sanchx) set the best time when he finished the stage, while Rhett Leavy (ALAITZ ATHLETIC TEAM) came in only a few seconds slower. As everyone thought Placido Meci would win, the split times suddenly showed that one of the last 5 riders had the possibility of winning. Egons Dzirnavnieks of Sanchx ended up beating Placido Meci with no more than 5 seconds, which insured him the stage win on the steep time trial.
I'm very happy for my win today. It means a lot to me, said Egons Dzirnavnieks and continued: I couldn't have done this without my team. I can't thank them enough.
The manager of Sanchx was proud of his rider today. Egons Dzirnavnieks has been training and preparing himself for this race. It's an important victory - both for Egons Dzirnavnieks but also for the team.
