Jevgenijs Kalnins won his first Ceribian Tour.


Etora, Ceribia - Jevgenijs Kalnins (Magram) won the 1601 Ceribian Tour, in his best season, after winning the Tour de Valland earlier this season.

Kalnins did not find a rival to win the Ceribian Tour, in which he became the last rider to win which was once known as "Grand Double".

Saratovian Marek Maruška (Soyuz-Kuprin) finished third at three-minutes and thirty-one seconds, becoming the first Saratovian to reach the podium in a three-week cycling race.
The 23-year old Saratovian all-rounder also won the Youth classification, and one stage, as well as winning the Tour of Keszaria earlier this season in his only second season as professional cyclist. Maruška, although never a serious threat to Kalnins, consolidated his place in the podium in the ITT stages.

Ceribian Irakli Maisuradze (Magram), while working for Kalnins as domestique, was able to climb to the third place of the podium in the last individual time-trial, in a perfect Tour for the Magram team in their most successful season.

Max Rémy (Ogo-Abbott) finished fourth -only eighteen seconds behind Maisuradze-, in a Tour which went from more to less, specially in the third week, for the Mandavinian rider. His teammate Jack Marshall won two stages and the Mountain classification.

Lomarran Cesar Spinoza (Vançotte) was the best rider in the mass sprint, winning four stages and the Points classification.
