Thank you Dejč for a tip-top bike
Istria Spring Classic stage race finished with a sprint in Umag. The expected winner of this exciting stage was Adria Mobil’s Marko Kump. This is his third victory of the season, all of them came in a similar way. Austrian Markus Eibegger stayed in the yellow jersey, and repeated his success from 2012 season. Adria’s Primož Roglič was fifth overall.

Stage from Pazin to Vrsar looked easy on the paper, but it was anything but that. A lot of teams had a score to settle and they were looking for a chance before they had back home. The speed on the race didn’t fell under 50 km/h, so nobody managed to escape and the race was decided in the sprint of the main group.

Marko Kump, the winner of the stage, said: “I’m happy with my victory and even more happy with the work that the team did for me. It would be hard to win without them. I also have to thank my mechanic Dejan Rifelj that once again made sure that the bike was in perfect shape.”

Team manager Boštjan Mervar was also happy with the outcome of the stage: “We didn’t have the full team here, so I’m more than happy with it. We were here without Rogina, who is injured, and Štimulak, who got ill. We rode on the today’s exactly as planed and I can only congratulate the riders for the great team work. Primož Roglič was fifth overall, which is a solid result. With a little bit more experiences he could be in the top three, anything more than that would be very hard.”
