07.04.2015

The sharply deteriorated weather, frost and snow allowed the athletes to fully feel that the championship, although it is taking place in the south, is not called winter for nothing. The starts were observed by the state cycling coach of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Zhetes Suleimenov, and the vice-president of the federation, Olympic champion Zulfiya Zabirova. She specially came to Shymkent to hold a coaching council on the problems and prospects for the development of women's cycling.

The first place at the end of the championship was taken by the Almaty region, whose riders won 8 gold medals. Almaty athletes are in second place. In third place is the team from the North Kazakhstan region. It is worth noting that the women's road race was held for the first time after a long break.

In the individual race at a distance of 20 km, Yuri Natarov showed the best result among men. Grigory Stein covered the 40 km distance the fastest. He also became the winner of the 97 km race. Among women at a distance of 10 km, Nadezhda Geneleva won. The winners of the 20 km pair-team race were Ekaterina Yuraitis and Nadezhda Geneleva.

In addition, this year there was a criterium race dedicated to the memory of Erlan Pernebekov. The results of this race are as follows: one of the leaders of the championship, bronze medalist of last year’s republican championship and winner of the team race, Grigory Stein, almost immediately left a large lead over his pursuers and won. In the individual competition among women, the winner was Natalya Sayfutdinova from North Kazakhstan.
