Stradalli
– Bike Aid pro racer Amanuel Mengis finished the sixed stage of the Tour of
Cameroon and climbed to 3rd in the overall and overall leader in youth
classifications with his Aversa road bike now taking the white jersey
After
yesterday’s rest day and the stage victory of Jean Bosco Nsengimana from team
Stradalli – Bikeaid in the fifth stage, the team was very motivated to start
today’s stage. The goal for today was to be aggressive in the mountains to make
up time on the yellow jersey leading the Moroccans. Daniel Bichelman and other
members of the Stradalli cycle – Bike Aid team planned an attack together which
forced the Moroccans to act quickly. The timing was perfect for Amanuel Mengis
to settle in a three-strong group of remaining pursuers of the yellow jersey to
make up crucial time.
Now only 1:01 minutes behind the overall leader, Mengis ranks third in
the overall standings and leads the juniors white jersey standings. The last
mountain stage is tomorrow and a good starting point is feasible.
