Stephenson Maranga takes outstanding victory


  The many climbs in Wojtkowice GP didn't give any good ideas for the riders. No riders attacked the entire stage through. When the final climb was near, the strongest riders settled themselves in front of the peloton. WestPomeranian took a confident lead, supporting Stephenson Maranga. The devistating tempo set by WestPomeranian crushed rider by rider. When Stephenson Maranga ran out of supporting riders, he had only 3 other competitors to beat. One of them, Szentes Alfréd (Rock Tour Team Hungary), launched a quick attack and managed to sit a lone in front for a short time. He only had Stephenson Maranga and Corrado Moranto (WestPomeranian) behind him now. Szentes Alfréd could not keep the tempo high, and eventually, both Stephenson Maranga and Corrado Moranto passed him by.
Corrado Moranto launched the sprint, but Stephenson Maranga outrunned him and became the winner.
I'm still in shock. When the attack started earlier today, I didn't expect to end up as winner, said the happy WestPomeranian rider, Stephenson Maranga. Only at the very end, I realized that this could be my chance, and so it was.
WestPomeranian's manager, Adam, was satisfied after the result in Wojtkowice GP. Stephenson Maranga did very well today. Everything turned out as we planned it, and Stephenson Maranga had the power to win, said the manager.
