Pascal Ackermann

Pascal Ackermann takes the final stage.

The race: Here's the report from stage winner Pascal Ackermann's Bora-hansgrohe team.

Cycling's World Championships

The final 168.3 km long stage, which featured two categorised climbs in the last third of the race, took the riders from Guilin to its southern outskirts before heading back north to conclude the race in the city centre.

After a rainy start, five riders were able to escape following a few kilometers of racing, and extended their lead to a maximum of 3:20 minutes during the course of the day. BORA - hansgrohe swapped turns at the front of the peloton to keep the advantage of the quintet at a reasonable distance.

With Max Schachmann, who rode attentively at the head of the field, the squad from Raubling put down the hammer in order to catch up to the four remaining leaders who still had an advantage of 1:20 with less than 20 km to go. Although the break worked well together, their efforts ultimately had to remain in vain, and they were caught 5 km ahead of the finish line. The sprinter teams soon began to jostle for position over the final kilometres and in the chaotic proceedings, a few riders hit the deck in a crash, in which no BORA - hansgrohe rides were involved.

After Rudi Selig rode a perfect lead-out for his teammate, Pascal took the wheel of J. Molano, and overtook the Colombian sprinter in the final few metres to take a convincing win. With this, BORA - hansgrohe ends the Tour of Guangxi with the points jersey, two stage wins and three second places with Pascal Ackermann, as well as the fifth place of Felix Großschartner in the general classification.

“This is the first time that I’ve been able to end my season with a win. It wasn’t necessarily an easy stage, with the tempo on the way back to Guilin being really high. The teamwork from the guys today was fantastic. In the final corner, I slipped somewhat, but was able to find my position in the sprint train relatively quickly. This is a great stage win, and the entire team deserved it. We wanted to win at least one stage here, and we’ve more than achieved our goal.” - Pascal Ackermann

“Once again, we invested everything into ensuring that the stage would end with a sprint, and the team did an outstanding job. We controlled the race well, Max put a lot of effort into this, and Felix also assisted in bringing back the breakaway towards the end of the stage. All of the others prepared Pascal for the sprint. We wanted to ride at the front of proceedings over the final few kilometres, and we were able to do that successfully. It’s a great win to cap off a successful season, and we’re very happy with the result.” - Enrico Poitschke, Sports Director

Monday, October 21: Stage 5, Liuzhou - Guilin, 212.2 km

Fernando Gaviria

Fernando Gaviria wins stage five.

The race: Here's the stage summary from winner Fernando Gaviria's UAE-Team Enmirates.

Plato's Crito

Fernando Gaviria has left his mark on the 5th stage of the Tour of Guangxi, Guilin-Liuzhou over 212.2 kilometers in a bunch sprint ahead of Pascal Ackermann (Bora-hansgrohe) and Matteo Trentin (Mitchelton-Scott) who both rounded out the podium.

The riders had four classified climbs to deal with, the last of which (1st category, 3.1 km at 5.5% average) came 38 km from the finish.

Four escapees launched a long-range attack before being taken back by the group at the foot of the last ascent. Despite some attacks on the uphill finish, the peloton managed to regroup in the remaining kilometers to the finish line.

In view of the sprint, Gaviria was brought up to the head of the group thanks to the work of his teammates with an excellent finishing lead-out by Oliviero Troia.

At 150 meters from the finish, the Colombian from UAE Team Emirates made his move, storming up the left side of the road and pressing on to bring his win tally up to six this season.

For UAE Team Emirates it marks the 29th victory of the season.

The reaction of Gaviria: “My teammates had a huge part to play in this victory. I’m very happy with my performance today. It’s never easy, at the end of the season, racing in races over 200 km, as happened today.

"I felt good all day long, and I kept climbing hard trying to stay close to the main group and then caught back up to the leaders thanks to the support of the team.
In the sprint, I was able to start from a good position and had great legs so I could pull off the win.”

The sixth and final stage will start and end in Guilin. The route will consist of a 167 km long loop with two short climbs, the latter of which is placed 41.5 km from the finish.

Sunday, October 20: Stage 4, Nanning - Mashannongla, 161.4 km

Enric Mas

Enric Mas finishes just ahead of Daniel Martinez to win the stage and take over the GC lead.

The race: Here's the report from stage winner and new GC leader Enric Mas' Deceuninck-Quick Step team.

Melanoma: It Started with a Freckle

Enric Mas soloed to his first victory of the year and moved into the red jersey at the Tour of Guangxi – the season’s last World Tour event – with just two days to go. In addition to that, the young Spaniard also took the white jersey, in what was a perfect day for the Deceuninck – Quick-Step rider, who is making in China his final appearance for the UCI World Team Classification leader.

Sunday’s result came after the entire Wolfpack devoted all their energies to working tirelessly for the 24-year-old, sheltering him as the 161.4km-long stage 4 progressed and bringing Enric into an ideal position at the foot of the final climb, where teammate Rémi Cavagna attacked to soften up the peloton. The Frenchman put in an admirable effort, but was overhauled inside two kilometers to go by a reduced group, from where three riders took off on the steepest section of the climb.

Mas was part of this move, which carved out a small advantage before our rider – at all times composed and in absolute control – decided to up the tempo with 700 meters remaining. Only Daniel Martinez (EF Education First) could stay in his wheel, but for a brief moment, with the Colombian getting dropped after another acceleration of our rider, who had enough time to put his arms in the air as he signed off Deceuninck – Quick-Step’s 67th victory of the year.

“The team did an amazing work today, protecting me and chasing the break, which at one point had a pretty big gap over the peloton. Thanks to the guys, I was well positioned at the start of the climb and I had Rémi to launch a probing attack and make others work. When he was caught with some 1700 meters to go, I knew that it was up to me and that all I needed to do was attack and try to make the difference.”

The first Spaniard to win a stage at the Tour of Guangxi, where he’ll now carry a five-second lead into the penultimate day, Enric drew a lot of satisfaction from his win: “My season was a solid and consistent one, but truth being told, I was missing a victory, and to get it now, in my last race of the year and my final outing for this fantastic squad, feels really great. There’s still two more stages left, but we will try to defend the jersey and bring it home.”

Saturday, October 19: Stage 3, Nanning circuit race, 143 km

PAscal Ackermann

Race leader Pascal Ackermann wins stage three.

Story of the Giro d'Italia volume 2

The race: Here's the report from stage winner Pascal Ackermann's Bora-hansgrohe team.

Stage three saw a 143 km-long circuit race around the regional capital of Nanning, with five laps around the town, each featuring a third category climb on the way.

Directly after the fall of the flag, a trio made their way up front but BORA - hansgrohe controlled the tempo at the head of the field right from the start, and kept the escapees on a short leash. After 15 km of racing, Max Schachmann was involved in a crash, but the German road champion was quickly able to rejoin the pack and continue racing.

After the first hour in the saddle, Mitchelton - SCOTT moved up alongside the squad from Raubling to share the pace setting and the advantage of the leading trio reduced to one and a half minutes with 50km to the conclusion of the race. The situation continued unchanged and the remaining BORA - hansgrohe riders surrounding race leader Pascal Ackermann stayed safely tucked away in the peloton while their New Zealand teammate Shane Archbold, along with the assistance of Astana, accelerated the tempo to eventually catch up to the breakaway with 30km to go. Not long afterwards, several riders tried their luck and attacked from the field, however Max Schachmann was attentive at the head of the peloton and worked to neutralise these moves.

Despite this flurry of activity over the last few kilometres, the stage eventually ended in a sprint in Nanning. In the finishing straight, Pascal put in an incredible turn of speed, and he was not to be caught by the competition as he sprinted across the line first. With this result, he rewarded the hard work of his teammates and took his 12th victory of this season. He also extended his lead in the general classification, while still leading the points and young rider classifications.

From the finish line:
“The third stage was harder than it was last year, and the parcours wasn’t necessary one for the sprinters. The plan was to stay with Trentin and be within the first ten riders to get over the last climb. That wasn’t an easy feat, because the ascent was quite hard. I tried to follow Trentin, because we knew he was strong and in the end it was the right decision. We wanted to come here to win a stage, and now we’ve achieved that. After my two second places on the first few stages, I feel less pressure now that I’ve taken a win here. Thanks to the entire team for the great support. I’m happy that I’ve been able to reward their work with this win.” - Pascal Ackermann

“We knew that it wouldn’t necessarily be easy to control the race or for Pascal to safely get over the final climb. But we still wanted to give it a good go. We had the same plan as yesterday and tried to let only a small group go clear. This worked out perfectly and we were able to control the race well with Shane, and ultimately with assistance from Mitchelton - SCOTT, the trio was reeled back in. On the last lap, we did not have to set the tempo because Mitchelton - SCOTT took over that duty. We could then concentrate on bringing Pascal into a good position on the climb, and Schwarzi and Rudi did a strong job there. On the climb itself the pace was high and there were several attacks, but Pascal did very well to keep up. Felix and Max then controlled proceedings over the final 5 km and in the end Pascal was able to take a convincing victory. We’ve now netted a stage win here, and continue to lead in the general classification, so of course we’re very satisfied with that achievement” - Enrico Poitschke, Sports Director

Friday, October 18: Stage 2, Beihai - Qinzhou, 152.3 km

Daniel McLay

Daniel McLay takes stage two.

The race: Here's the report from GC leader Pascal Ackermann's Bora-hansgrohe team.

Bicycle History

The second stage of the Gree-Tour of Guangxi traversed 152.3km of flat terrain from Beihai to the finishing town of Quinzhou on the Golf of Guangxi Beibu and featured a slightly uphill finish in the port city. The course was tailored to the sprinters, and the fast men were sure not to disappoint by day’s end.

Early in the race, a three-rider breakaway formed, but with BORA - hansgrohe and UAE Team Emirates at the helm of affairs, a close eye was always kept on the escapees. After two hours in the saddle, the advantage of the leading group was kept at around 2:30 minutes, and with Shane Archbold and UAE Team Emirates continuing to ride at the front of the field, the breakaway's lead had dwindled to around a minute with 10 km remaining, and the race eventually came back together. The scene was then set for a mass sprint.

BORA - hansgrohe prepared the sprint for Pascal Ackermann, and although he had to move slightly from his line in the finishing straight, he was able to take a strong second place behind D. McLay. After the second day of the race, Pascal now leads the general classification as well as the points and youth competitions.

From the finish line:
“After yesterday’s stage, we knew that the team is in good form, and so we were really ready and motivated to fight for the win today. With the help of UAE Team Emirates, we controlled the gap to the break, and always had the race within our grasp. Over the last kilometres, the tempo heated up and the sprint became somewhat chaotic. As sometimes happens in these situations, I was slightly blocked and so wasn’t able to launch my sprint in the way that I had intended. However, with my second place, I take over the lead in the overall standings, as well as the points and youth classifications, so it’s not too bad of a day for us.” - Pascal Ackermann

“With today being yet another flat stage, the team rode for Pascal, with the same goal as yesterday. We wanted to let only a small group escape, and that’s precisely what happened. UAE Team Emirates started to take the responsibility for setting the pace in the field, and with around 40 km remaining, we joined in, and so had the race well under control. On the final laps, that tempo became quite high and the last breakaway rider was caught with around 4 km of racing left. In the fast finale, it was no easy task for the sprint trains to form, however the guys still managed to do a good job here. Pascal was in a good position, but as can sometimes happen in such a finale, Pascal found his line was slightly blocked and so he wasn’t able to completely pull of his sprint as planned. Another second place is not necessarily what we would have wished for, however in spite of this, the team still rode strongly today. There are still several days ahead of us, though, and therefore still more chances to take a stage win.” - Enrico Poitschke, Sports Director

Thursday, October 17: Stage 1, Beihai - Beihai, 135.6 km

Feranndo Gaviria

Fernando Gavira (far left) is the winner of stage one.

The race: Late Wednesday (local time) the organizer tweeted: "123 riders are set to start the 3rd Gree Tour of Guangxi in Beihai tomorrow. Stage 1 to begin at 11:25."

Bora-hansgrohe rider Andreas Schillinger did not start.

Here's the report from stage winner Fernando Gaviria's UAE-Team Emirates:

Back to winning ways for Fernando Gaviria, who won the first stage of the Tour of Guangxi (World Tour).

The Colombian sprinter from UAE Team Emirates narrowly edged out Pascal Ackermann (Bora-hansgrohe) and the silver medalist from Yorkshire, Matteo Trentin (Mitchelton-Scott) to break his victory dry spell which has lasted since the Tour of Italy.

The race was run over a 135.6 km course divided into three laps of a 45.5 km circuit with start and finish in Beihai with a relatively flat profile.

Gaviria reacts to his fifth win of the year: “The stage was short but raced all day at a very high pace. The support of my teammates was essential today. They stayed close to me and helped me a lot on the uphill sections. The last climb was still far from the finish so we had time to prepare ourselves for the sprint. We were in a good position coming into the line when all the teams were fighting for position.

"I found myself on the wheel of a rider from Bahrain-Merida and I had the patience and coolness to wait until the last minute to go. The power in the legs was there to come around for the win”.

The second stage will give the sprinters a second chance: departing from Beihai and finishing in Qinzhou over 152.3 kilometers of mostly flat terrain.

Complete results:

135.6 kilometers raced at an average speed of 46.839 km/hr
