Sports: Suuma continues to lead general classification in Kinai Tour
Despite a disappointing result at the third stage for the Juglander team, Hermenegild Suuma declared that he is satisfied after his start of the stage tour in which he will continue to lead the general classification for another day. "It has been a dreamy start for me", Suuma declared. "Yesterday, it was my best win I'd say, the kind of race than I enjoy the most".
Suuma won a second stage at the Kinai Tour yesterday with a 18-km solo attack. "As the main group was breaking apart, I felt increasingly comfortably at the descend and I even gained some considerable metres without noticing", he explained. "Then, we decided to take advantage of the situation". When main group started to organize, it was simply too late. Kimmo Peltonen, who had followed local rider Naozumi Iga's wheel in the latter late attempt to reduce the gap, left him behind as they entered in a false flat terrain shortly before the final two kilometres.
The surprising move allowed Suuma to win his second stage and increase his lead over a minute. However, AABL-Ujredi face a more disappointing result in the 18-km team time trial as they faced two mechanical problemas as well as probably the absence of their main specialist against the clock in Kinai, Mainio Salminen. Despite this, Suuma remains calm and focused. "I can only think in the next stage ", he explained with a smile. "My thoughts are not really beyond that. I will be happy to continue with my luck but I will happy to help my teammates as much as they had helped me these days if their turn comes. The important thing it is that these two wins had eased the pressure and we can ride more intelligently".
