Second victory in Slovakia Cycling Tour for Braith Rixon


  The many climbs in Slovakia Cycling Tour 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. Fissa took a confident lead, supporting Braith Rixon. The devistating tempo set by Fissa crushed rider by rider. When Braith Rixon ran out of supporting riders, he had only 3 other competitors to beat. One of them, Ponce Canesa (team dustin), launched a quick attack and managed to sit a lone in front for a short time. He only had Braith Rixon and Gabriel Arouca (Borussia Milano) behind him now. Ponce Canesa could not keep the tempo high, and eventually, both Braith Rixon and Gabriel Arouca passed him by.
Gabriel Arouca launched the sprint, but Braith Rixon outrunned him and became the winner.
Today's stage fit well for me - I simply had to try my luck. And see what happened?, said a smiling Braith Rixon. The winner had no other comments, he quickly went to the team bus in order to celebrate the win.
It's good to see Braith Rixon fulfilling his ambitions winning this stage. He deserves the victory more than anyone else, said the proud manager of Fissa, Ivan, and continued: The team was a good support for him (Braith Rixon) today, and he clearly proved his worth in the break away today.
