Pascal Falcone proves his worth


  The many climbs in Juiz de Fora - Nova Friburgo didn't give any good ideas for the riders. No riders attacked the entire stage through. When the final climb was near, the strongest riders settled themselves in front of the peloton. Rushstar Racers took a confident lead, supporting Pascal Falcone. The devistating tempo set by Rushstar Racers crushed rider by rider. When Pascal Falcone ran out of supporting riders, he had only 3 other competitors to beat. One of them, Octave Berghmans (Jolly Wheels), launched a quick attack and managed to sit a lone in front for a short time. He only had Pascal Falcone and Konrad Øvrebø (Jolly Wheels) behind him now. Octave Berghmans could not keep the tempo high, and eventually, both Pascal Falcone and Konrad Øvrebø passed him by.
Konrad Øvrebø launched the sprint, but Pascal Falcone outrunned him and became the winner.
Today's stage fit well for me - I simply had to try my luck. And see what happened?, said a smiling Pascal Falcone. The winner had no other comments, he quickly went to the team bus in order to celebrate the win.
yankee, manager of Rushstar Racers, was happy with the result: The whole team did well today. Everything turned out as we hoped, and luckily, Pascal Falcone was the strongest rider out there today. The proud manager didn't hide that he was satisfied with Pascal Falcone's result. Pascal Falcone did well. No one deserved the victory more than him. He put his focus on this stage long ago, and he kept his motivation high. I'm happy for him and the team, said yankee.
