Mugerli wins Tour of Serbia
Matej Mugerli has won the overall title in the Tour of Serbia.
In addition, Matija Kvasina finished third overall and Synergy Baku
Cycling Project takes home the title of best team.
Mugerli finished the sixth and final stage Sunday safely in the
peloton, which crossed the finish line only three seconds behind
two escapees. He came into the stage with a lead of over two
minutes and was never really endangered all day.
He laid the base for his GC win on the third stage, which he won by
over two and a half minutes in a solo to the finish. The team led
the team rankings for the entire race. Kvasina finished third on
the second stage and stayed in the top three overall until the
end.
“There were many attacks today but our team had no problem
controlling the race. The guys did an amazing job and we also won
the team ranking,” Mugerli said. “This was my first race back after
a break, and I am very happy to have won the overall title in a
stage race.”
“This final stage was more difficult than we expected, but the guys
really gave their best,” said DS Andrej Hauptman. “We lost the
mountain jersey, but held on to the team classification.
Congratulations to all the riders and staff.”
