Trusov flies

By Sergey Kurdyukov
Superb sunny weather, slight wind and a moderately technical speedy circular course – that was the formula for a series of fantastic results in the opening stretch of the 5-day race around Moscow. Alexander Kuznetsov, the head coach of Tinkoff Restaurants – S7 Airlines team, world famous for numerous world and Olympic champions he has trained, said before the race that, “Oleg Tinkov bets on Nikolay Trusov [to win]. No ifs and buts...do you think he’s wrong? I don’t know, there are so many on the same level.”
Some hours later Trusov proved he can be considered a safe bet in any event like this. The tall and powerful rider made it to the finish in a record-breaking time of 3'20" and averaged more than 53 km/h for the thre kilometres. His teammate Alexander Serov took the third step of the podium, with Oleg Melehs in second.
