The 13th edition of the Cycling Tour of Sibiu was definitely one of the greatest races ever in this region of Europe. Not just because of the fact that many stars came to compete here this year as well, just like Sam Bennett (BORA-Hangsrohe) who won 2 stages out of 5, but mostly because of the fact that we had to wait until the very and of the Tour to find out the winner in the general classification. After his victory at Balea Lac, Lennert van Eetvelt (Lotto) had the best chances to stay in the yellow jersey, but after his puncture one day later, he had to accept a dramatic scenario. Before the last stage, an ITT in the historical centre of Sibiu, there were 4 riders separated by only 6 seconds, and it was Mark Donovan (Q36.5) who rode fastest among them. It was the Briton who won the 13th edition, ending the BORA-supremacy after three years. What a great race, I was happy to be a part of it, at least 2 thousand people came to celebrate with the winners at the awards ceremony.
