Mugerli successfully ends Tour de Bretagne
By Laman Sadigova
Matej Mugerli, a Slovenian champion, took the sixth place of the Tour de Bretagne by finishing the second on the closing stage of the competition. He soloed in to the finish line only two seconds ahead of the peloton to take the win, while teammate Maksim Averin finished fifth.
Mugerli topped off an outstanding Tour de Bretagne for the
Synergy Baku Cycling Project, which saw the team take one stage
win, two second places and one third places.
Ioannis Tamouridis, who will also be riding the Tour d’Azerbaijan,
finished second on the fourth stage.
The Slovenian national champion made his every effort in the final
kilometer to take second place behind the lone escapee who won the
stage. Dennis van Winden, the other Synergy Baku Cycling Project
rider left in the race, taking the eighth place.
Mugerli said that their preparations for the Tour d’Azerbaidjan
went exactly as planned. “My form is good, as my second place
finish in the final stage today showed. Now, I am on my way to
Baku!”
It all went according to plan, said DS Jeremy Hunt, the Health
Secretary. “I am very happy with today’s result. We decided to do
nothing until the last 20 km. Matej attacked in the last 500 meters
and took the second place.”
