KRASNODAR – ANAPA (RUSSIA)
2015, April 1st.
RusVelo riders Andrey Solomennikov and Roman Maikin finished first and second in the inaugural edition of Krasnodar-Anapa one-day race held in the South of Russia. A 178 km-long event saw a group of fifteen ride away around 35 km into the race on a coastal road open to gusts of side wind. Three RusVelo riders in it were up against three compatriots from Itera-Katusha and a whole of five Kolls BCD Ukrainians. The Ukrainian riders did their best to keep the chasing peloton at bay, confident in their team leader Vitaly Buts, highly successful in the sprints on these roads over the last couple of seasons. But numbers didn’t count so much as they expected, with Buts narrowly missing his chance and crossing the line close third.
