TOUR OF QINGHAI LAKE
2015, July 5th./17th.
2015, July 8th.
RusVelo rider Ivan Savitskiy took stage 4 of 2.HC Tour of Qinghai Lake. The race, famous for its overall length and extreme altitude, climbed as high as 3300 m, drawing a semi-circle around the big lake it is named after. Savitskiy soloed across the line, 2” ahead of the Ukraininan Mikhaylo Kononenko (Kolss). Unstoppable Slovenian Marko Kump (Adria Mobil), 11 wins to his name this year, had to settle for third step of the podium this time, finishing further 5” behind. The 185 km-long was full of action from the word go, with lots of attacks and counterattacks and eventually, complete disintegration of the peloton. Still, with the yellow-clad Oleksandr Polivoda (Ukraine, Kolss) coming in with the leading group, nothing changed at the very top of the general standings. Savitskiy moved up to 10th of the GC.
