Thomas Newhouse's first stage


  Today was a day for the break-away?ers in Pueblonuevo del Bullaque GP. From the first kilometre, several riders were trying to get away from the peloton. The first serious attack started when a small group of riders got away from the peloton at 9 km of Pueblonuevo del Bullaque GP.
  The weather played a big role of today?s race. The bike got a big wash as well as the riders. The break away didn?t seem to be effected by the weather though: they kept increasing the lead. No one in the peloton took the initiative to catch up the break away due to the rainy weather.
  In the break away the riders cooperated perfectly and they kept a good distance to the peloton the entire race. With a few kilometres to go, the break away ended in a sprint. 100 metres to go, Chapman Fargo launched the sprint, but both Thomas Newhouse and Thobias Van Gysel passed him in the sprint. Thomas Newhouse ended up as winner, with Thobias Van Gysel right behind him.
Thomas Newhouse 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.
The stage couldn't turn out any better than this. Thomas Newhouse did a perfect job today, said R Newton, manager of Glory Days, after the race.
