KUNDASANG, 4 November 2015 : Peeter Pruus powered his way to a deserved overall
win in the Tour of Borneo despite a strong push from Asian riders in the final
stage today.
Pruus (Rietmu-Delfin Continental Cycling Team) was in control
throughout the 181.1km stage from Kudat to the punishing high altitude terrain
of Kundasang, winning in a time of five hours 19 minutes and 17 seconds.
Team 7-Eleven Roadbikes Philippines riders Mark John Lexer
Galedo and Marcelo Felipe gave chase but were forced to settle for second and
third in 5:19:22s and 5:20:31s.
The Estonian took the yellow jersey (general classification)
with a total time of 16:16:27s and also bagged the red jersey (mountains
classification), as many had anticipated.
The 26-year-old climber said it was the perfect way to end
his season.
"This is the last race of the season for me and to end
it with a win is just great," said Pruus.
"I did not know if I could win it at the start of the
tour because I knew it would be tough here with the routes and the weather.
"But today I just felt really good and it all went to
plan. I was aware that I needed to control seven other riders who were also in
contention for the GC.
"But the team did their best to help me and I have to
thank everyone."
Nur Amirul Fakhruddin Mazuki (Terengganu Cycling Team)
finished seventh in the stage for fifth overall in the GC but managed to make
the green jersey (points classification) his own.
CCN Cycling Teams' Hari Fitranto (Ina) took the white jersey
(Asian classification) as Team 7-Eleven Roadbikes Philippines won both the
Asian and general team classification titles.
Hari, who finished fourth in the fifth stage and second in
the GC, said he was disappointed to miss out on winning the yellow jersey but
was grateful to emerge the best Asian.
"I tried to take the Yellow but Pruus was just too
strong, I tried to drop him towards the end but he matched all my moves.
"It is still a decent achievement for me as I had only
managed a top 10 finish overall in 2013 and to take the white jersey is also
good."
The best overall team and best Asian team Classification went
to 7-Eleven Roadbikes Philippines.
Tour of Borneo is organized by Borneo International Cycling,
held from 31st October to 4th November 2015. The 2.2 category Tour is
sanctioned by the International Cycling Union (UCI) and is listed in UCI Asian
Tour calendar, it is hoped to promote Sabah as the ultimate sports tourism
destination in Malaysia, and promote cycling in the state.
