Alec Deans steals the focus


  After only 16 km of Race of the Karyendas a big group of 12 riders left the peloton behind. The peloton never saw the break away group again, and the stage was to be terminated by the attackers. Several riders tried to attack from the peloton in order to catch up with the break away, but no one succeeded. 10 km before the finishing line, Alec Deans (Diana Riders) and Remo Rafreider (Ineos12) attacked from the break away group, and they managed to create a gap just big enough to settle the stage. The two riders sprinted ahead with the following group only 50 metres behind them. Alec Deans could happily raise his hands after winning only a few inches infront of Remo Rafreider. In the following group, Grigore Burdujan (Team Sky Romania) took the lead in the sprint, which left him as third on the stage.
Alec Deans didn't hide his happiness for winning the stage. I have dreamed of this for long. My result today proves that hard training is worth it, said the cheerful winner, who yet has no current plans for the next race to strike at.
Diana Riders's manager, granaldo, was satisfied after the result in Race of the Karyendas. Alec Deans did very well today. Everything turned out as we planned it, and Alec Deans had the power to win, said the manager.
