1600 Tour de Valland - Hadash - 07-21-2019 1600 Tour de Valland Stage 1 | ITT - 14 km The 1600 Tour de Valland started with a 14-kilometre individual time-trial. Vallish time-trialist Alain Gasquet (NDM) won the fastest rider and became the first red jersey this Tour. Stage 2 | Flat stage - 204 km The second stage was expected to be the first chance for sprinters. However, the breakaway was surprised the peloton. In the final kilometres, a selection of four riders was made in the breakaway: Keszarian Ferenc Racz (Bagdati), Florinthian David Hayward and Biyran Szymon Lorentz (AHN-Bank of Florinthus), Oslanburgan Aksel Poulsen (Luft Wurberg). The riders from the Florinthian team surprised their riders with an attack in the final two kilometres and David Hayward won the stage and became the new leader of the general classification. Racz, who arrived twenty-one second behind Hayward, was second at twenty-nine seconds. Stage 3 | Flat stage - 208 km The sprinters had their first chance the next day. Vallish sprinter Antoine Duchesnay (NDM) defeated Sequoian Martin de Gasparette (Le Cycle Super) and Vienlander Johann Dor (Dido-GDC) to win the stage. Stage 4 | Hilly stage - 161 km The fourth stage, a 161-km hilly stage, which ended in a well-known ski station in eastern Valland, was expected to create some differences and changes in the general classification. Oslanburgan Osvald Jokumsen (Luft Wurberg) was the fastest rider in the main group, defeating Kyrzbekistani Enver Dushku (KyrzAir) and Irakli Kapanadze (BataVelo). Mordvanian Zdenek Hrovat (Anzcell) was the new leader of the general classification. Dushku was second at twelve seconds while Hayward fell to the third place at twenty-seven seconds. RE: 1600 Tour de Valland - Hadash - 07-24-2019 Stage 5  | Flat stage - 216 km Sprinters had a second chance in the fifth stage. Florinthian sprinter Quentin Symonds (Dido-GDC), defeated Galeaen Melker Rausing (Yetech-Druzhberg) and Ilsat Alimur (KyrzAir) to win the stage. Stage 6 | Flat stage - 214 km Mordvanian Miroslav Gradishar (Iskra) defeated Sequoian Martin de Gasparette (Le Cycle Super) and Sergo Gvarjaladze (Bagdati) in the mass sprint to win his first stage in the 1600 Tour de Valland. Martin de Gasparette took the Points classification while Zdenko Hrovat continued as leader of the general classification. Stage 7 | Hilly stage - 188 km The seventh stage was decided as well in a mass sprint, although with a rather reduced peloton. Sequoian Martin de Gasparette (Le Cycle Super) defeated Quentin Symonds (Dido-GDC) and Antoine Duchesnay (NDM) in a close sprint. Mordvanian Zdenko Hrovat (Anzcell) continued as leader of the general classification a third day. Stage 8 | Mountain stage - 182 km The first high mountain came on the eight stage with high expectations. 1599 Tour de Valland winner Roman Herzogenrath had lost two minutes in the first week, which seemed to complicated his chances in the general classification. An early breakaway was formed, and Télecon team surprised as Vallish Sylvestre Richelieu and Soyabarian Ulrick Vandenhof joined the breakaway. At the start of the final climb, the breakaway had still more than three minutes over the main group. In the final kilometres, along Richelieu and Vandenhof, only two riders remained in the breakaway, Keszarian Adam Sandor (Velomax) and the young Ceribian Malkhaz Lomidze (Bagdati). The final attack by the Soyabarian climber did not find an answer, and Vandenhof (Télecon) won the stage in solitary. Sylvestre Richelieu (Télecon) and Adam Sandor crossed the finish thirteen seconds later and, a few seconds later, arrived Lomidze. The main group, reduced to ten riders, did not arrive until a minute later. Goldecian Spencer Grant (Ogo Cycling) was the only one to follow Roman Herzogenrath last attack, although the differences between those riders at the finish were not important. Kyrzbekistani Enver Dushku (KyrzAir) was the new leader of the general classification while Vallish Sylvestre Richelieu (Télecon), who took the Youth classification jersey, was second at only six seconds. Ceribian Irakli Kapanadze (Batavelo) was third at sixteen seconds. The winner of the stage, Ulrick Vandenhof was fourth at twenty-six seconds. Lomidze was fifth at forty-five seconds. RE: 1600 Tour de Valland - Hadash - 07-24-2019 Stage 9 | Flat stage - 178 km The ninth stage was expected to be a transition stage, expectedly ending in a mass sprint. The stage included a small hill, forty kilometres before the finish, although officially the stage was considered a flat stage. Bagdati and BataVelo teams surprised with a quick move after the descend of the hill, which caused the peloton to be divided in several groups. In the last two kilometre metres, Ceribian Irakli Kapanadze (BataVelo), who was already at that point the virtual new leader of the general classification, surprising other riders in the group and winning the stage. Mordvanian Rein Warma (Iskra) arrived seven seconds later, as the first of a group of other six riders, which included 1598 Tour de Valland winner Pharnavaz Undiladze (Bagdati), Kyrzbekistani Almas Cingur (KyrzAir), and Max Pappenheim (Scholden-Gulcron). It was precisely the Gehenna rider who climbed to the second place in the general classification, at one minute and one second behind Kapanadze. The previous leader, Enver Dushku fell to the third place at one minute and thirty-two seconds. Malkhaz Lomidze (Bagdati) was fourth at one minute and thirty-seven seconds, becoming the new leader of the Youth classification, while Sylvestre Richelieu (Télecon), was seven seconds behind the young Ceribian rider. Stage 10 | Flat stage - 204 km There were no surprices on the next stage, which was decided in mass sprint. Antoine Duchesnay (Télecon) defeated Florinthian Quentin Symonds (Dido-GDC) and Ostlander Johannes Rapp (Scholden-Gulcron) to win the stage and becoming the new leader of the Points classification as well. Stage 11 | Mountain stage - 215 km High mountain returned on the eleventh stage. As he did on stage 8, Keszarian climber Adam Sandor (Velomax) surprised with a far away attack. Although he arrived twenty seconds after the winner of the stage, Mandivine rider Max Rémy (Abbott Cycling), he took the red jersey to become the new leader of the general classification. The main group, reduced to five riders (Mordvanian Marcus Gucevicius, Soyabarian Ulrick Vandenhof, Nerysian Jarik Nytar, and Ceribians Malkhaz Lomidze and Irakli Maisuradze) arrived more one minute and twenty-seconds after Sandor. Ceribian Malkhaz Lomidze (Bagdati) was second in the general classification at thirty-two seconds, while Soyabarian Ulrick Vandenhof (Télecon) was third fifty-three minutes. Stage 12 | Mountain stage - 101 km Another mountain stage expected the peloton the next day, the shortest in this Tour. Roman Herzogenrath (Télecon) surprised with an attack from afar. The 1599 Tour de Valland winner, who was at more than six minutes in the general classification, found no opposition and won the stage. Forty seconds later arrived the main group, reduced to six riders. Soyabarian Ulrick Vandenhof (Télecon), who arrived in the selected main group along Weatherhead, Undiladze, Kalnins, Zachariah Nordfeldt, and Godomar Guur, was the new leader of the general classification. Svarnan climber Amrit Amrit Mallaya (Abbott Cycling), who lost almost two minutes, was second at one minute and thirty-one seconds. Adam Sandor (Velomax) lost the red jersey after losing more than three minutes that day, and he was third at two minutes and forty-seven seconds. Nylander Zachariah Nordfeldt (Luft Wurberg) was fourth at three minutes and seventeen seconds, and Nerysian Jarik Nytar was fifth at three minutes and fifty-six seconds. RE: 1600 Tour de Valland - Hadash - 07-25-2019 Stage 13 | Hilly stage - 182 km Vallish sprinter Antoine Duchesnay (NDM) defeated Galean Melker Rausing (Yetech-Druzhberg) and Nylander Michael Ahlgren (Anzcell) in a chaotic mass sprint. Amrit Mallaya (Abbott Cycling) lost thirty seconds to the peloton, after he found himself in an isolated group which was left behind by the peloton. Stage 14 | Hilly stage - 190 km The last stage before the second rest day, it wasn't certainly a calm stage for the peloton. Adam Sandor (Velomax) and Zachariah Nordfeldt (Vançotte) surprised the main group with a tactical attack more than sixty kilometres from the finish. Ceribian Sergo Gvarjaladze (Bagdati) easily won the stage, after defeating Nylander Derryl Benjaminson (Le Cycle Super) and Adam Sandor in the finish. Soyabarian retained the red jersey, but it was reduced to fifty-four seconds to Adam Sandor. Zachariah Nordfeldt climbed to the third place at one minute and fifty-eight seconds, while Amrit Mallaya fell to the fourth place. Stage 15 | Hilly stage - 166 km Although decided in a mass sprint, the fifteenth stage was again a complicated stage for the peloton, including many of the favourites. Mordvanian Miroslav Gradishar (Iskra) defeated Antoine Duchesnay (NDM) and Florinthian Stanley Langdon (Luft Wurberg) to win his second individual stage this Tour de Valland. Amrit Mallaya complicated his options to the podium, after he lost another minute to the main group. Stage 16 | Mountain stage - 183 km Vienlander Siegfried Jundt (AHN-Bank of Florinthus) won the sixteenth stage, in the return of the high mountain, after defeating Lomarran Tomasson Zavala (Yetech-Druzhberg) and Nerysian Munderic Aidas (Nenergo) in the final metres after a long breakaway. In the main group, reduced to eight riders in the last climb, Ulrick Vandenhof resisted the attacks by Jevgenijs Kalnins (Magram) and Amrit Mallaya (Abbott Cycling) -the two most active riders of the day- while seeing how his main rivals, Nylander Zachariah Nordfeldt and Keszarian Adam Sandor, were losing time. Vandenhof crossed the finish along Nerysian Jarik Nytar (BataVelo), Kalnins, losing only ten seconds to Mallaya, who was now second in the general classification at three minutes and eleven seconds. With still a last mountain stage and final individual time-trial to come, Adam Sandor was third at three minutes and forty-two seconds. Kyrzbekistani climber Damir Zagipur (KyrzAir), who was 11th in the general classification, took the Youth classification jersey from Malkhaz Lomidze, who had been leading that classification since stage 9. RE: 1600 Tour de Valland - Hadash - 07-26-2019 Stage 17 | Mountain stage - 180 km There were not much action between the main favourites in the final high mountain stage until the last climb. However, Télecon Team imposed a high pace during most of the day, which avoided that a successful breakaway could be formed. While it was not a calm climb for leader Ulrick Vandenhof (Télecon Team), he could see as his main rivals, Svarnan Amit Mallaya probably paid the effort of the previous day, while Keszarian Adam Sandor (Velomax) couldn't continue in the main group after the first attacks. Mallaya lost forty seconds to the Soyabarian climber while Sandor arrived three minutes after the winner of the stage. Vandenhof had the help of his teammate and 1599 Tour de Valland winner Roman Herzogenrath, and would end losing only three seconds to  Jevgenijs Kalnins (Magram) and eight seconds to Nylander Zachariah Nordfeldt (Vançotte). Svarnan climber Rahul Bhattacharya (Baagh Cycling) found no opposition after leaving behind Nerysian Godomar Guur in the final kilometre and won his first individual stage in the Tour de Valland. With only one individual time-trial left, Vandenhof seemed to have consolidated his victory in Lauren as he increased his lead in the general classification to Amit Mallaya to three minutes and fifty-nine seconds, while Ceribian and 1598 Tour de Valland winner Pharnavaz Undiladze (Bagdati) was third at four minutes and forty-one seconds. Stage 18 | Flat stage - 223 km The eighteen stage was rather calm for the peloton and it was decided in a mass sprint. Vallish sprinter Antoine Duchesnay (NDM) defeated Mordvanian Miroslav Gradishar (Iskra) and Florinthian Quentin Symonds (Dido-GDC) to win the stage and decide the Points classification. Stage 19 | ITT - 23 km The last 23-km individual time trial was expected to at least decide both the podium and the Youth classification. Galeaen time-trialist Erik Persson (Yetech-Druzhberg) won the stage, while his countryman and teammate Sebastian Leifsson finished second, only four seconds behid Persson. It was a relatively clam final ITT for Ulrick Vandenhof, who lost forty-five seconds to Pharnavaz Undiladze (Bagdati), who did a better time-trial that expected to easily climb to the second position in the general classification at three minutes and fifty-six seconds. Svarnan Amit Mallaya (Abbott Cycling) lost the second place in the podium for only three seconds, finishing third at fifty-nine seconds. Ceribian Irakli Maisuradze (Magram) consolidated his lead in the Youth classification, increasing it to more than three minutes to Kyrzbekistani Damir Zagipur (KyrzAir). Stage 20 | Flat stage - 103 km Vienlander Johann Dor (Dido-GDC) won his first stage in the Tour de Valland after defeating Sergo Gvarjaladze (Bagdati) and Christophe Villiers (Anzcell) in a mass sprint in the final stage in Lauren.
