Hartmut Manstein peerless in Funningur 100


  Even though several riders tried to break away, no one managed to keep it going in Funningur 100. The strongest riders in the peloton stayed together in the leading group. The finishing climb became a secretion of riders, until Hartmut Manstein (Papkompania) and Maurycy Uszy?ski (Dinosaur Racers) were alone in the front. As it looked as they were heading for a sprint on the top, Maurycy Uszy?ski suddenly could follow Hartmut Manstein who climbed the final kilometre alone. The audience cheered as Hartmut Manstein crossed the line with his arms raised high. Maurycy Uszy?ski came in a little later as second. The third place were terminated by a group of 4 who sprinted a long. Moises Balboa was fastest in the group, and safely took the third place.
The climbs today were tough, but I felt good all day, said Hartmut Manstein after winning. I loved the ending of the stage. It was when I saw the ending of the route I knew that I could win. It was perfect for me.
Arpad Pap, manager of Papkompania, was happy with the result: The whole team did well today. Everything turned out as we hoped, and luckily, Hartmut Manstein was the strongest rider out there today. The proud manager didn't hide that he was satisfied with Hartmut Manstein's result. Hartmut Manstein 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 Arpad Pap.
