Peterson finishes Tour of Bavaria in top-ten

Director’s report from Johnny Weltz

The last stage took of as all the others, very fast. But after 40km two riders for a small team got away and gained almost 10 minutes. Then the sprinter’s teams started to work, so that blocked pretty much the whole stage as it was easy to control afterwards.

We set up the sprint for CJ but it didn’t worked out all that well and he finished around 10th. Tom finished eigth on GC and second on young jersey — with some harder stages he would for sure have had a better chance to move up on GC . We finish third on team GC and the riders got a good base to build on for the next big races coming up!
