Lennard Staal wins in Ngorongoro Safari


  Ngorongoro Safari was exciting all the way through. Several riders tried their luck on the climbs, yet the stage were to be terminated by a leading group of climbers. Early on the climb, Lennard Staal (Matrix team) launched an attack, and he managed to get away alone. No one could match Lennard Staal's tempo, as he drove to the top without any threats. The rest of the climbers stayed together in a group, where Hilario Pizarro (SolenTechnology) secured his second place right in front of Raphaël Thévenot (Beardy Bikers).
Matrix team's Lennard Staal was happy for the win. Today was me and my team's day. This win is not only important for me, but also for the team! said Lennard Staal.
Thomas Anderson, manager of Matrix team, was happy with the result: The whole team did well today. Everything turned out as we hoped, and luckily, Lennard Staal was the strongest rider out there today. The proud manager didn't hide that he was satisfied with Lennard Staal's result. Lennard Staal 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 Thomas Anderson.
