Stradalli Cycle

Stradalli – Bike Aid has started their time in Eritrea well with a podium spot in the UCI 1.2 Massawa City Circuit Race.

Meron Teshome found his way to 3^rd by winning the field sprint after two riders broke away in the closing kilometers.

Stradalli – Bike Aid and Amore & Vita Selle SMP started attacks early to try to force the pressure onto other teams. Several breakaway attempts were made in the beginning of the race, but the race was too fast and difficult for anything to stay away.

Stradalli – Bike Aid riders are very motivated for this tour of racing in Eritrea because of the mission behind the team. Several of the Stradalli – Bike Aid riders are native to Eritrea and spend much of their time traveling to other countries for races. The opportunity to race in Eritrea for Stradalli – Bike only comes by on a few occasions, so the riders are putting all of their effort into getting a good result while in Eritrea.

Meron Teshome, Eritrean rider for Stradalli – Bike Aid, has had several podium finishes this year and said this finish was the best yet.

“I have had results in other countries, but for me to get on the podium in Eritrea is extra special.” Teshome said. “The Aversa rides so well and super stiff  in the sprint, so it is no surprise to me to be able to be this consistent.”

In Massawa City, the riders of Team STRADALLI – BIKE AID had to expect a unique atmosphere in a city that they surely will never forget. At the end, the result well rounded up this awesome and spectacular day.
