Sibiu Cycling Tour 2020 – Stage 1 [FULL STAGE] (romanian)

Sibiu Cycling Tour 2020 – Stage 1 – Sibiu – Bâlea Lac : 183 km

The Sibiu Cycling Tour (Cycling Tour of Sibiu until 2015) is a 2.1 category professional bicycle road race held in Sibiu, Romania. Its first edition took place in July 2011, as part of the UCI Europe Tour. The race is organised with the support of the local council as well as the regional council of Sibiu. Held entirely around the city, the race normally runs over four days including a prologue on the cobbled streets of the city, and two climbing stages, one on the Transfăgărăşan Road to Balea Lac and a second to the mountain resort of Paltinis.

After a washout in the stormy prologue of the Sibiu Tour, Bora-Hansgrohe took firm control of the UCI 2.1 stage race on the queen stage on the climb to Bâlea Lac high in the Carpathian mountains, with Gregor Mühlberger taking out the stage win and Austrian champion Patrick Konrad moving into the race lead.

Prologue winner Nikodemus Holler (Bike Aid) lost contact early on the famed Transfăgărășan road that climbs for 25.2km at an average of 5.8 per cent grade.

Mühlberger started the attacking after the day’s breakaway was caught, going clear with Rémy Rochas (Nippo Delko One Provence), the pair soon joined by Matteo Badilatti (Israel Start-Up Nation), Konrad and Piotr Broznya (Voster ATS Team).

Broznya held on for a while but soon dropped back to a chasing group with veteran Davide Rebellin (Meridiana Kamen), leaving four riders at the front.

Rochas tried to go solo but Konrad stamped his authority on the race, nullifying the Frenchman’s move then going clear himself. Mühlberger waited a moment before leaping away to join his teammate and the pair celebrated together atop the climb, 16 seconds clear of Badilatti.

Following their dismal prologues, the WorldTour riders are now at the top of the general classification, with Konrad with a three second lead over Mühlberger and Badilatti 53 seconds down in third.
