Daniel Holloway from Raleigh GAC won the sixth stage of the Tour of Mexico ahead of teammate Tobyn Horton to give Raleigh-GAC a 1-2 on the stage. Bernie Sulzberger, also of Raleigh GAC was fifth.
 |
The stage, over 123.5 km, was contested by a bunch kick of 100 riders where Raleigh’s ‘blue train’ of six riders dominated the finale with the scraps left, third, being taken by Italian Angelo Furlan of the Christina Watches-Onfone team.
Holloway, who crashed the day before when being lead by Horton who went on to finish third, said afterwards, “Team Raleigh-GAC have been amazing all week, sacrificing themselves for everyone on their day. Today, I was the benefactor and just finished off the easy part of the boys hard work.”
The 1-2 capped a great week so far with a second place for Evan Oliphant and a third for Tobyn Horton proving beyond doubt what great form the team have competing in this eight stage race in Mexico.
We’ll have photos from the team of the podium soon here on VeloUK.
