Stage 5 - December 30: Zhuhai circuit race, 108 km
Marco Polo team report
By Remko Kramer
|
It was a windy day at the Zhuhai car racing track. Wide open roads with fast asphalt. The race was hard because we were riding in the gutter all the time.
After a while three riders got a gap and must have been riding very hard. They took a 1 minute lead on the chasing peloton. They were: Adi Wibowo from Wismilak, Lam Kai Tsun from Hong Kong and Taiji Nishitani from Japan. But entering the last laps the speed of the field became so high that they were caught back. In the last lap, there was again a crash. In the last kilometre, the Danish Glud and Marstrand team took the lead and pulled the sprint for Max Nielsen who won. Second was Sergey Kudentsov and third Kam Po Wong.
Tomorrow is the showdown in Coloane on the steep hill-top finish at the A-Ma, with Masahiko Mifune of the Marco Polo Cycling Team still in the yellow jersey.
