В общем зачете, по итогам 8 денй, Сабина Спитц и Яна Беломоина - команда Sport for Good заняла 2-е место, лишь потому, что с начала гонки было отставание в 15 мин. от лидеров, которое почти ликвидировали, но немножко не хватило. Что тоже можно считать победой.
Вах умнички! Порадовали!
“On the final climb Yana was riding like crazy,” said a delighted Spitz. “She overtook a men’s team and I was sitting behind them thinking ‘oh my gosh’, then I saw her overtake the girls and I realised I had to use my last grain of power to get to her. To win three stages in a race is amazing. I’m really pleased I took the decision to come ride the Cape Epic.”
Belomoina, who at 23 is Spitz’s junior by 21 years, was happy that her cross-country skills could be the decisive factor on the day.
“The finish was very good, it was like a lap of cross-country so I had to go fast. I saw a small chance so I went for it and luckily Sabine could catch up. I’m very happy to win three stages in a row.”
