Feliciano Tigre takes outstanding victory


  Even though several riders tried to break away, no one managed to keep it going in Gran Premio EEO. The strongest riders in the peloton stayed together in the leading group. The finishing climb became a secretion of riders, until Feliciano Tigre (Byttingvik) and Reinoud Stoffer (Team Unibet) were alone in the front. As it looked as they were heading for a sprint on the top, Reinoud Stoffer suddenly could follow Feliciano Tigre who climbed the final kilometre alone. The audience cheered as Feliciano Tigre crossed the line with his arms raised high. Reinoud Stoffer came in a little later as second. The third place were terminated by a group of 4 who sprinted a long. Gilbert Niewiadomski was fastest in the group, and safely took the third place.
The climbs today were tough, but I felt good all day, said Feliciano Tigre 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.
Vegard, manager of Byttingvik, was happy with the result: The whole team did well today. Everything turned out as we hoped, and luckily, Feliciano Tigre was the strongest rider out there today. The proud manager didn't hide that he was satisfied with Feliciano Tigre's result. Feliciano Tigre 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 Vegard.
