Team Vorarlberg cracks actively involved in 62nd Tour de Loir et Cher – Jon Knolle tragic hero on the podium!

 

After yesterday’s crash stage, five Team Vorarlberg pros started today’s second stage from Sassay to Selommes over 163 kilometers.

Jon Knolle, yesterday badly crashed and fought with a knee wound to the finish, just missed the time limit. Thus the effort for the tour in vain, but fortunately he did not hurt himself more seriously. Yesterday he was celebrated on the podium as the most active rider, today he had to go home. But that is also cycling.

 

Today’s stage was very erratic. The dangerous group was put back, among others, by Team Vorarlberg. There was no countable result in the bunch sprint, but Lukas Rüegg u. Co. will play out their own tactics to attack tomorrow. Winner of the stage of Van de Paar (Lotto Dstny Devo).

 

Tomorrow Friday stage number three from Freteval to Vendome over 178 kilometers.
