Cycling's 50 Craziest Stories

Bahrain-Merida Pro Cycling Team concluded the extraordinary week in Austria with another success. Giovanni Visconti managed to take his third stage win ahead of Lutsenko (AST) and Van der Lijke (RNL) in the final stage 8 of the Tour of Austria.

Breakaway win for the Italian rider who went clear with a 5-man group after 21kms into the race and outsprinted his break companions to claim his third seasonal success. “It was very close today, because Lutsenko is a great champion and we were very tired due to this hard and challenging week and today’s stage was also very fast” comments a smiling Visconti “I’m so happy that I hardly know what to say. 3 stage wins for me in eight days and 5 for the team. Moreover we took second overall. It has been a great week! I’m very happy”.

What a week for Team Bahrain-Merida, that had lots to celebrate: 5 stage victories with Matej Mohorič, Giovanni Visconti (3) and Antonio Nibali; the 2nd place in the General Classification of Hermann Pernsteiner, who takes the Best Austrian’s jersey as well. Moreover Giovanni Visconti grabs the points classification overall victory, with Matej Mohorič second. Bahrain-Merida could only be the winner of Team Classification.

“It can seem easy when you win so many stages and you do a good GC” says Matej Mohorič happy as well with his week here “but it really wasn’t: it was a tough race also because they were not long stages, but very fast. It was a good work ahead of next targets”.

But the happiest of all is TBM Sports Director Harald Morscher: “It was something special and super special for me as Austrian, both for the victories and seeing such a big team effort. To win five stages out of eight is something amazing. We were riding for the General Classification too, but yesterday unfortunately we had a big crash with Hermann Pernsteiner and above all our Mark Padun, who was forced to abandon the race. It was a sad moment in a wonderful week, but we met Mark and he’s a strong guy. We wish him a speedy recovery!”

Friday, July 13: Stage 7, Waidhofen/Ybbs - Sonntagberg, 129.3 kilometers

Antonio Nibali

Antonio Nibali (brother of Vincenzo Nibali) wins stage seven.

The race: Here's the report from stage winner Antonio Nibali's Bahrain-Merida team.

The first professional victory of Antonio Nibali! It is the TBM Lucky #13! On a Friday, 13th with his starting number 13!

Stage 7 – Tour of Austria 2018 started today in Waldhofen with 4 laps to the Sonntagberg, which was meant to be a selective climb.

The strategy for TBM from the start was to dominate and make all possible to go into an early breakaway and in the penultimate lap to watch out for Hermann Pernsteiner and make him go for taking the difference for the GC jersey takeover. The plan was starting to be feasible, but a bad group crash happened where Mark Padun and Hermann Pernsteiner suffered injuries. Unfortunately, Mark Padun crashed badly into the metal fence and had to pull out from the race. He was taken to the local hospital in Ybbs, where doctors diagnosed a neck injury, a cut and 3 broken ribs. TBM doctor Carlo Guardascione was monitoring the treatment of Mark Padun who will have an overnight in the nearby hospital. Mark Padun got 12 stiches and his condition is stable. Hermann Pernsteiner continued the race with an injured shoulder and TBM mechanics changed his damaged bike.

Matej Mohorič and Antonio Nibali were in the breakaway with ten more riders, Giovanni Visconti, Enrico Gasparotto, and Kanstantin Siotsou in the peloton trying to keep eyes on TBM leader, Hermann Pernsteiner.

Matej Mohorič felt great and made a tremendous job to support and control Antonio Nibali to the last climb to Sonntagberg, where Antonio Nibali used all his energy to get his victory.

And at the end, Antonio Nibali took his first pro career victory. Took a clean victory for Bahrain Merida Pro Cycling Team. He put the strawberry on a cake to the week in Austria where TBM took four victories in 7 stages. A victory of Matej Mohorič, two victories by Giovanni Visconti and a sweet victory of Antonio Nibali at the penultimate stage of Tour of Austria 2018.

Antonio NIbali expressed his joy with the wide smile in the style that’s one of a kind: “It was an amazing effort. Matej, I thank you and all in my team. Now I finally got my first professional victory. I’m not a dilettante any more.  I am so happy ! “

Thursday, July 12: Stage 6, Knittelfeld - Wenigzell, 167.4 km

Alexey Lutsenko

Alexey Lutsenko wins stage six.

The race: Here's the report from stage winner Alexey Lutsenko's Astana team.

It was day of glory for the Kazakh Champion Alexey Lutsenko at the Tour of Austria. The Astana Pro Team rider took a nice victory at stage 6 of the race, in the final outsprinting his breakaway companion Matej Mohoric.

Together, Lutsenko and Mohoric made a decisive move close to the top of the first category climb Schanzsatte after more or less 80 km of racing. The duo was able to get a good advantage of 50-55 seconds over the chasing group of 6 riders and to hold it until the finish line in Wenigzell. In the uphill sprint Alexey Lutsenko was just the strongest, taking his maiden win in the jersey of Kazakhstan Champion.

- It was a very hard day on the road, especially, after yesterday’s mountain very cold stage. There was a battle in the first 60 km of racing for the breakaway. But, finally, a group of around 20 guys could go away. I was in this group together with Zhandos Bizhigitov and Andrey Zeits. I want to thank both for the huge help they provided me in the break. Zhandos and Andrey did an amazing job in front of our group pulling hard and increasing the gap over the peloton until the first climb of the day. Later, I decided to take responsibility on myself, attacking on the climb. I went solo, but later it was Matej Mohoric, who joined me. We had a good collaboration between us until the finish, where, probably, I could save some more energy for a good sprint. I am really happy with this win! It is very important result for me since it is my first victory in the jersey of national champion. This is my first race after a very tough Giro d’Italia and it is great to get a win here! – explained Alexey Lutsenko.

Stage 6 of the Tour of Austria started in Knittelfeld and finished in Wenigzell after 167,4 km of racing. With three categorized climbs and a few hills in the second half of the distance this stage was a perfect moment for attacking riders to try to win from a breakaway. Thus, the first hour of racing was full of attacks and, finally, a big group could break away together with three Astana Pro Team riders: Alexey Lutsenko, Zhandos Bizhigitov and Andrey Zeits.

An attack of Lutsenko on the first climb was the crucial moment of the stage. After Mohoric has joined Kazakh Champion, two riders did a very good job together, keeping a solid advantage over the chasers and the peloton. On the last long downhill with around 15 km to go Matej Mohoric tried to attack, but Astana rider did not give him a chance. Finally, two riders came together to the finish, where in sprint Alexey Lutsenko took a nice win.

The chasers finished 50 seconds later, while the peloton crossed the finish line 2 minutes behind the winner. Another Astana Pro Team rider Dario Cataldo was 9th today, in this way keeping his 3rd place in the general classification of the Tour of Austria.

Stage 7 of the race will be held tomorrow: 129,3 km from Waidhofen to Sonntagberg.

167.4 kilometers raced at an average speed of 38.718 km/hr

Tuesday, July 10: Stage 4, Kitzbühel - Prägraten, 143 km

Giovanni Visconti

Giovanni Visconti gets his second stage win in this Tour of Austria

The race: here's the report from winner Giovanni Visconti's Bahrain-Merida team.

Stage 4 of Tour of Austria 2018 started today in the glamorous Kitzbühel in Tyrol and Bahrain Merida Pro Cycling Team gets another great victory by Giovanni Visconti at Prägraten im Osttirol!

TBM riders keep on with such a great spirit and goals for victories at Tour of Austria 2018. There is not much to say, then to congratulate Giovanni Visconti for another victory at the long uphill sprint. Two victories for Visconti within 3 days. Chapeau!

A respectful 4th place for Mark Padun who is uprising his performance at Tour of Austria 2018 and Hermann Pernsteiner at a 2ndplace in GC by getting to just 8 seconds to Hermanns (Israel Cycling Academy), the GC leader after the Stage 4. Giovanni Visconti is still the leader by points and Hermann Pernsteiner keeps his orange jersey as the best Austrian.

It was really great to see Kanstantin Siotsou getting better and stronger on his favourite climbs. Nice to see Kosta up after his Giro injury.

Giovanni Visconti: “I’m really happy today” he says speaking in Italian because he wanted to explain better what he feels for the team and especially for the group of riders with him at the Tour of Austria “It’s an amazing group. I’m not at the top of my condition – even if it seems strange – I feel tired, but with such a team everything becomes easier. The guys are always working hard. Matej Mohorič and Kanstantin Siutsou were fantastic in the final…I’m really very very happy”.

Tomorrow is probably the most demanding stage at Tour of Austria 2018. A queen stage from Matrei to Grossglockner. It will definitely be a suffering stage for all riders, but Team Bahrain Merida, with all the chemistry and ambitions are looking forward to the stage through the National Park and the famous Grossglockner the highest mountain in Austria.

Complete results:

143 kilometers raced at an average speed of 44.227 km/hr

Giovanni Vosconti

Giovanni Visconti wins Tour of Austria stage two.

The race: Here's the report from winner Giovanni Visconti's Bahrain-Merida team.

Second stage of Tour of Austria 2018 started today in Feldkirch and Bahrain Merida Pro Cycling Team continued successfully with another victory.

TBM riders kept the great chemistry and winning momentum for another victory at Tor of Austria 2018. A victory of Giovanni Visconti, who was the runner up at the yesterdays’ Stage 1.

Giovanni Visconti who was so hungry for the victory after nine 2ndplaces he achieved in last two seasons. His last victory was in September 2017. at Giro del Emilia, but this one was his first for Bahrain Merida Pro Cycling Team.

There is not too much to say then just to give you the emotional expression of Giovanni Visconti:

“I finally won! I was going through times that were not so easy for me, because when you feel strong, but you don’t take a victory – due to bad luck or racing situations – the risk is that your mind gets depressed. But I had the strength and the determination of endurance and I didn't want to give up. I’ve always been on the podium in the last four races and finally I can take this victory. I thank a lot to my team for supporting me today. Gasparotto and Siutsou controlled the race and Mohorič did a great work of in the final. He shows to be a great champion in this too. He brought me until the last curve, then I gave everything. It was not easy to stand in that very long straight, but I closed my eyes and just thought about the victory and I took it!"

Giovanni Visconti took both the overall red jersey and the points classification jersey after today’s victory in the Stage 2 of Tour of Austria.

Matej Mohoric

Matej Mohoric wins the first stage.

Tour of Austria 2018 started today in Feldkirch in a best possible way for Bahrain Merida Pro Cycling Team. Feldkirch, a beautiful town at the very west of Austria celebrating 800 years and all of its’ inhabitants were excited to host the first two stages of Tour of Austria 2018.

TBM riders joined into the celebration by taking the victory and second place today at four laps of 38.2 km. Enrico Gasparotto was giving the rhythm and dictating the tempo to all TBM riders and the peloton which was behind the group of 6 riders that went into a breakaway for maximum 2 minutes. Gasparotto never let them make a bigger distance than that.

Sport directors and staff were very focused for the start of Tour the Austria and new and upcoming challenges of seven demanding stages. Stage 1 was suitable for riders like Mohorič, Visconti and Gasparotto and that is how it all worked well. Antonio Nibali was the one to jump into the leading rhythm when Gasparotto made the group compact. From that moment Matej Mohorič and Giovanni Visconti went for the victory and the second place of the opening stage of Tour of Austria.

Matej Mohorič: “Today we really did a great job with all of the team. We started working very hard from the bigining. Enrico Gasparotto pulled really hard all day long and it gave us even more self confidence. We are super happy to finish with first and second place today. Once again I thank to Gaspa, Visco, Antonio, Mark, Hermann and Kosta and chapeau to all TBM guys here at Tour of Austria.”

Giovanni Visconti: “I really happy today. It is so nice that we started the Tour of Austria with a victory and my second place. I hope that we will continue like this. I have to say that Enrico Gasparotto for his great effort and hard work. He made us to achieve this victory and my second place. We all know that Matej Mohorič  is a guy that attacks always in a dangerous finals so we won and we are all very happy. This is my ninth 2ndplace in two years and I really hope to make one stage victory. I hope it is close.”

Harald Morscher: TBM sports director was very excited for such a great victory and result TBM achieved today in his neighbourhood; “I am reall happy that Matej and Visco took victory and 2ndplace in Feldkirch, where I was born. Now we also have a leaders jersey and we made a good publicity for TBM here. It is our great entry of Tour of Austria and Hermann Pernsteiner, an Austrian and our leader we can continue like this till the end”
