With lovely weather in Cuba, all the riders were ready to do their best in Palma Soriano - and som certainly did. Bráulio Souto Maior from EkerSvarvarna went away from the peloton after only 15 km.
The peloton kept the tempo high, and Bráulio Souto Maior slowly lost his lead. When the peloton reached him, after 15 2 km, Fabio Enriquez (Megaman) and Nicolai Hermansen (JJL24SS) launched a counter attack. Bráulio Souto Maior's first attempt didn't stop him from joining the break away, which afterwards slowly increased the lead.
When 10 km of the stage were left, the three riders in the break away were quite sure to go all the way to the finishing line alone. Their thoughts later became doubts, as the peloton got closer and closer. On the final kilometre, the 3 riders could see the peloton behind them, as they gave everything they could.
Nicolai Hermansen launched an attack, which Bráulio Souto Maior easily countered despite his hard work on the stage. For Fabio Enriquez it was a littler harder to follow, but later he simply proved to be faking. Nicolai Hermansen couldn't follow the new tempo set by Fabio Enriquez, and neither could Bráulio Souto Maior. Fabio Enriquez safely sprinted to victory and raised his arms while crossing the finishing line. Behind him, about the length of two bikes away, Bráulio Souto Maior was slightly faster than Nicolai Hermansen, who seemed to have no more power left after trying to attack earlier.
The stage today was perfect for me. I felt good in my legs, and when the attack got launched, I had a feeling that I could do this, said Fabio Enriquez to the interviewers and continued: I couldn't have done this without my team or my manager; they have a just a big part in this win as me.
The manager of Megaman was proud of his rider today. Fabio Enriquez has been training and preparing himself for this race. It's an important victory - both for Fabio Enriquez but also for the team.
