A cleanly-delivered sprint for the line by Phil Bauhaus (Bahrain Victorious) netted the German his second career win in the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Tour de Pologne on Thursday, althoug💟h Bauhaus undoubtedly made a significant down payment on that triumph by getting through a dramatic last kilometr𒁃e crash unscathed.

While the mass pileup undoubtedl♍y wrecked many sprinters’ chances of battling for victory, Bauhaus and his lead-out man Jonathan Milan were both ahead of the point in the peloton where the crash happened, while Bauhaus’ second place early in a sprint as tricky and demanding as Lublin already pointed to his solid form. 

That form was further confirmed on 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:staꦰge 5’s reduced battle for the line, where Bauhaus saw off racers of the calibre of Ar༺naud Déma🐻re (Groupama-FDJ) and Nikias Arndt (Team DSM). 

“I felt really good at the beginning, unfortunately there was a big crash in the last corner, a lot of guys went down and I’m really sorry for them. I c๊ould just avoid it,&rd༺quo; Bauhaus said afterwards.

The mass pil🥃e-up took place at high speed where the road narrowed briefly and almost simu🐼ltaneously swung right, blocking many riders behind. The full extent of any injuries sustained by riders who crashed has yet to emerge and did not appear on the first official medical bulletin.

As Cyclingnews ascertained from Cofidis' management, the stage’s only DNF, their Italian rider Simone Consonni, left▨ the race well before the crash happened because he was ill and all other rider🌜s completed the course.

In purely sporting terms, the crash left sprinters of the calibre of Sam Bennett (Bora-Hansgrohe), Mark Cavendish൩ (QuickSt💜ep-AlphaVinyl) and Olav Kooij (Jumbo-Visma) without options. 

While Pologne is Bahrain Victorious' first WorldTour win since ♛Steve Willi🍬ams took a victory in the Tour de Suisse nearly two months ago, Bauhaus triumph in Pologne is his second in as many years, after he won the open📖ing stage in 2021.

“I like racing here, I don&rs✅quo;t know if it’s lucky that I’m in great condition,” he said. "To win is not only a question of ♒luck, you also need the legs and also a great team for the sprint.

“I’m in one of the best teams in the world, and we proved together we can win a lot of races. Johnny [Jonathan Milan] did a great lead out for me in the last 200 metre🦹s. And then I also had the legs s꧃o I’m really happy."

Bꦚauhaus is looking forward to the final stage in Krakow. He pointed out that Bahrain Victorꦯious have serious options on victory, with Pello Bilbao in second place overall.

“We hope he can fight the yellow jersey because he’s a super good time triallist,&rdqu𒆙o; Bauhaus said. “Then obviously on the last day, which is also a flat finish, we’re hoping for another bunch sprint and another great result.”
