Lombard Middleton shows talent


  The Moose Jaw Chase became an interesting race, as Dunc Roach from Europunks and Evaristo Camarinha from Europunks opened up the stage with an astonishing attack after only 19 km. The two riders managed to keep a gap to the peloton all the way through the stage, though one rider was termined to catch them up. Lombard Middleton (Zetas) easily joined the break away after 54 km, which now consisted of three strong riders.
Dunc Roach, who originally launched the attack, had problems following the other two in the end, meaning that he could not take part in the sprint, though he was only 7 seconds behind. The sprint, which was opened by Evaristo Camarinha was very close, and it was only in the ending Lombard Middleton managed to get the lead and win on the rainy day.
I'm still in shock. When the attack started earlier today, I didn't expect to end up as winner, said the happy Zetas rider, Lombard Middleton. Only at the very end, I realized that this could be my chance, and so it was.
The stage couldn't turn out any better than this. Lombard Middleton did a perfect job today, said Zetas, manager of Zetas, after the race.
