| COLBRELLI ROUNDS OFF PODIUM ON STAGE 9 OF TOUR DE FRANCE |
|
Sonny Colbrelli continued his amazing form this season, taking 3rd on the most challenging stage of Tour de France so far.
|
The 9th stage of this year’s Tour started in Cluses and crossed 144.9 kilometres climbing 4,262 metres finishing in Tignes. It was a consecutive day of rain, made harder with the cold conditions atop of the climbs.
|
| Bahrain Victorious rode aggressively again, with Wout Poels, Sonny Colbrelli and Dylan Teuns moving into the day’s breakaway. Colbrelli aimed to take the intermediate sprint to keep up the fight for the Green Jersey and did so comfortably, moving into third. |
Sonny continued his effort showing his versatility on the climbs staying with the second group, and managed to cross the line third on a day other sprinters barely made the cut-off time. |
Colbrelli: “I tried to go in the breakaway for the intermediate sprint. I’m happy I took the points there. I then felt good legs and continued to try and fight for the team classification. There are more opportunities for me, and I will try for the Jersey.” |
