Not a day without a medal

06.03.2017

Kazakhstan national cycling team finished performances at the Asian Championship in road racing, which lasted several days in the capital of Bahrain.

The last day, like all the previous ones, brought our medal to our athletes. Bronze medalist in the group race unexpectedly for many became Zhandos Bizhigitov, only at the finish gave way to more prestigious awards to South Korean athlete Shangon Park and Yusuf Mohammed Mirza from the United Arab Emirates.

The same evening, the official website of Astana Pro Team briefly summarized the results of the continental championship. And they quite satisfied the leadership of the team. The fact that the male part of the national team of Kazakhstan in the Persian Gulf was represented by the racers of "Astana", who won two gold and one bronze awards. Recall that at the top step of the podium after the team race our six - our Alexei Lutsenko, Zhandos Bizhigitov, Dmitry Gruzdev, Daniil Fominykh, Andrei Seitz and Bakhtiyar Kozhatayev rose. Then on the third day of the competition Dmitry Gruzdev became a two-time Asian champion in 2017, showing the best time in the individual race at 38.4 km with a separate start. And at the very end of the championship, "bronze" was given to Zhandos Bizhigitov.

Congratulating the "Astana" with success in the continental championship, we can not but say that, in addition to experienced professionals, in Bahrain, the sports colors of our country were brilliantly represented by women, anders, and juniors. For example, Ekaterina Yuraitis won a gold medal in an individual time trial, and Yuri Natarov in the same form of the program became the third among the underworlds (if it is easier, among young people under 23, athletes).

In the group race among juniors, our compatriots have two medals - gold from Daniil Marukhin, silver - from Igor Jan. In the group race among the Anders the second place was occupied by the Kazakh Eugene Gydich. As a result - 5 gold, 3 silver, 3 bronze awards and the first place in the unofficial team event.

... The successful championship of Asia-2017 is already history. And on the agenda of the "Astana" - a multi-day race of the world tour "Paris - Nice", which started yesterday in France. Kazakhstani Alexei Lutsenko and Ruslan Tleubayev, Danes Matti Breschel, Jacob Fulsang and Michael Valgren, Belgian Laurence De Vries, Italian Ricardo Minaly and Estonian Tanel Kangert are performing in it.
