Culai Craciunescu takes the first step


  Even though several riders tried to break away, no one managed to keep it going in Skookumchuck. The strongest riders in the peloton stayed together in the leading group. The finishing climb became a secretion of riders, until Culai Craciunescu (McMcIGP) and Joel Neesens (Eervol Laatste) were alone in the front. As it looked as they were heading for a sprint on the top, Joel Neesens suddenly could follow Culai Craciunescu who climbed the final kilometre alone. The audience cheered as Culai Craciunescu crossed the line with his arms raised high. Joel Neesens came in a little later as second. The third place were terminated by a group of 4 who sprinted a long. Theo Hovelynck was fastest in the group, and safely took the third place.
Today's stage fit well for me - I simply had to try my luck. And see what happened?, said a smiling Culai Craciunescu. The winner had no other comments, he quickly went to the team bus in order to celebrate the win.
The stage couldn't turn out any better than this. Culai Craciunescu did a perfect job today, said AlesioTheGamer, manager of McMcIGP, after the race.
