Mugerli second in Qinghai Lake
Matej Mugerli finished the second on the fourth stage of the
Tour of Qinghai Lake. The Synergy Baku Cycling Project rider
narrowly missed the win in the bunch sprint.
The stage ran 147 km from Guide to Qinghai Lake and had one climb
of 27 km in the first third of the stage.
"The stage was very hard. We had to go from 2300 m to 3800, and
there was still 100 km to go," Mugerli said. "Samir Jabrayilov and
Elchin Asadov went in a breakaway from the first km. We caught them
again on the climb."
"In the finale there were 40 to 50 riders going for the sprint. I
was very close to getting the stage win, but second is good,
too."
