Diaz Gallego grabs the general mountain jersey – Stüssi finishes with sixth stage place! Youngsters rock at the Salzburg Ring!

Today’s last stage in Czech from Mohelnice to Sternberk over 178 kilometers was the stage where there was something else to do. One of a few teams where they dared was once again Team Vorarlberg Santic. The “big teams” of Mitchelton-Scott and BORA-hansgrohe were doomed to scrutinize – and did!

Jose Manuel Diaz Gallego grabs mountain jersey – Colin Stüssi great sixth in Sternbeck!
The young Spanish Jose Manuel Diaz Gallego was chosen to occupy the first group. And lo and behold – he set off. Diaz picks up almost all the mountain points on the difficult stage and crowns himself mountain king of the Czech Tour 2019.
The small group was indeed put back. But in the final, the Vorarlbergers are also fighting! Mitchelton-Sott is playing the game and landing a double win by Lucas Hamilton and Darey Impey. Colin Stüssi is an excellent stage place sixth – Roland Thalmann top with 12th place.

Thalmann, Stüssi and Schelling bring UCI points – Team Vorarlberg Santic third best team!
This year’s Czech Tour wins Darey Impey (RSA / Mitchelton-Scott). Three Team Vorarlberg Santic riders are in the top 20 and get the UCI points (Thalmann 11th, Stüssi 15th and Schelling 18th). Behind the two teams of Mitchelton-Scott and Elkov-author this same highly categorized tour we finished the Tour of Austria in third place – great job guys!
