Vader, final winner of the Guangxi Tour; Kooij wins in the last stage
Milan Vader (Jumbo) has been proclaimed winner of the Guangxi Tour, in China. The Frenchman completed the podium Remy Rochas (Cofidis), six seconds away, and the British Ethan Hayter (INEOS Grenadiers), to eleven.
Vader He won the queen stage of the test last Sunday, 161 kilometers between the towns of Nanning and Nongla with a first-class high finish. This victory gave him the leader’s jersey that he managed to keep until the end. It should be noted, in turn, that this is the cyclist’s first relevant victory after spending half a year out in 2022, due to a serious fall in Itzulia that year that kept him in critical condition for a while.
The Dutch Olav Kooij completed the Jumbo Visma festival by scoring the last stage and preventing the Colombian’s double Juan Sebastian Molano (UAE Emirates).
Kooij This time he was the fastest in the sprint on the sixth and final day, held starting and finishing in Guilin and 168.3 kilometers, although the finish was tremendously close between the Dutchman and the coffee grower, winner on Monday.
