Gucevicius took the golden jersey in the stage 15, a 27-km time-trial stage in central Ceribia.


Etora, Ceribia - Marcus Gucevicius (Iskra Team) became the first Mordvanian rider to win the Ceribian Tour, to win his first Grand Tour in his career.

Gucevicius was able to resist in the high mountain stages, proving a constant rider against his main rivals, probably more tired after a demanding Tour de Valland, and consolidated his victory in the two long time-trial stages.

Adwestene champion Eden Grace Weatherhead (Scholden-Gulcron) -who had just won his fifth Tour de Valland months ago- finished second at forty-seven seconds. Weatherhead failed to win the Grand Double (winning the Ceribian Tour and the Tour de Valland the same season) for second time, but set up a new records as it was his 13th Grand Tour podium in his career.

Kyrzbekistani climber Almas Cingur (KyrzAir) -who wore the golden jersey to four days until stage 15- finished third at three minutes and two seconds, making the 8th Grand Tour in a row in which both Cingur and Weatherhead have been in the podium.

Ceribian Mukhran Chavchavadze (Magram) won the Mountain classification, while Florinthian Quentin Symonds (Dido-GDC), who won three individual stages, won the Points classification.
