Debut for Bing Bas


  Early on the stage, five optimistic riders attacked on the first climbs of Al Rumman Hills GP. They managed to keep a gap between them and the peloton until they reached the final climb. At the bottom of the climb, the group of favourites passed them. Rider by rider, they couldn't keep up with the tempo set by Ferket Cycling Team, who were supporting Matthis Van Acht. Right behind the riders of Ferket Cycling Team was Bing Bas and Pepillo Cadero lurking. Matthis Van Acht looked strong, and seemed to have a good day, but when Pepillo Cadero launched an attack, only Bing Bas could follow. Bing Bas made a counter-attack and was suddenly alone in the front, as Matthis Van Acht caught up Pepillo Cadero once again. Bing Bas secured his victory without problems, while Matthis Van Acht was faster in the sprint than Pepillo Cadero.
I'm still surprised that I could do this. Only when I was getting near the finishing line I realized that I had the chance of winning, said a shocked, but happy, Bing Bas and continues: I owe my team a big thank for their great support today. Without them, this couldn't be possible.
Rody Santes, manager of Vo Cycling Team, was happy with the result: The whole team did well today. Everything turned out as we hoped, and luckily, Bing Bas was the strongest rider out there today. The proud manager didn't hide that he was satisfied with Bing Bas's result. Bing Bas 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 Rody Santes.
