Petrov's star shines at the Tour de l'Avenir
Report courtesy of Mapei-Quick Step
Evgueni Petrov's dream, right from the beginning of the season, came true today - by winning the Tour de l'Avenir. The Russian Mapei-Quick Step Young Group rider, after having acquired the Yellow Jersey as winner of Thursday's stage, demonstrated his strength, ability and consistency to defend himself during the last two stages.
He left behind Pierrick Fedrigo (Credit Agricole) and David Muñoz (Kelme) during the final section. The 24 year old Russian rider, with this his 4th win of the season (5th so far in his career) was able to count on a very compact team that was ready to sacrifice themselves for their leader. During the 138 kilometres of the last stage from Saint-Flour to Saint-Flour, Eisel, Gasparre, Cheula, Sinkewitz and the winner of two stages Pozzato showed once again their excellent technical abilities, constantly protecting Petrov from any attacks from hopeful yellow jersey winners.
"We really are a very good team," explained a beaming Petrov. "My team-mates did a wonderful job today. It is not just me that won the Tour de l'Avenir today but everyone in the team too. We had been talking about this race since the Vuelta of Cuba at the beginning of the season. We really wanted to prove that we are a very close and great team. Well, we've certainly proven this today".
