Miriuta Györgyné has what it takes


  With lovely weather in Belgium, all the riders were ready to do their best in Alle - Cornimont - and som certainly did. Peebles Townslie from Hawkstonia Velo went away from the peloton after only 13 km.
The peloton kept the tempo high, and Peebles Townslie slowly lost his lead. When the peloton reached him, after 13 2 km, Miriuta Györgyné (fekete) and Ximenes Ballesteros (CT Nuyens) launched a counter attack. Peebles Townslie's first attempt didn't stop him from joining the break away, which afterwards slowly increased the lead.
When 10 km of the stage were left, the three riders in the break away were quite sure to go all the way to the finishing line alone. Their thoughts later became doubts, as the peloton got closer and closer. On the final kilometre, the 3 riders could see the peloton behind them, as they gave everything they could.
Ximenes Ballesteros launched an attack, which Peebles Townslie easily countered despite his hard work on the stage. For Miriuta Györgyné it was a littler harder to follow, but later he simply proved to be faking. Ximenes Ballesteros couldn't follow the new tempo set by Miriuta Györgyné, and neither could Peebles Townslie. Miriuta Györgyné safely sprinted to victory and raised his arms while crossing the finishing line. Behind him, about the length of two bikes away, Peebles Townslie was slightly faster than Ximenes Ballesteros, who seemed to have no more power left after trying to attack earlier.
Miriuta Györgyné was happy for his efforts today. It was a tough day today, but with the result of it, it suddenly feels like nothing. I'm so happy I won today. I didn't expect it at all, said the pleased winner.
fekete's manager, fekete, was satisfied after the result in Alle - Cornimont. Miriuta Györgyné did very well today. Everything turned out as we planned it, and Miriuta Györgyné had the power to win, said the manager.
