鮑豪斯衝下貝爾諾基盃冠軍

捍衛連勝紀錄 鮑豪斯衝下貝爾諾基盃冠軍
連續三年奪冠 巴林美利達在秋季古典賽跑出好的開始

延續科爾布雷利(Sonny Colbrelli)在這場比賽留下的二連勝紀錄，我們的德國衝刺手鮑豪斯(Phil Bauhaus)挺身而出，領先康索尼(Simone Consonni)和西瑪(Imerio Cima)進站，讓巴林美利達連續3屆，成為義大利貝爾諾基盃(Coppa Bernocchi)的冠軍車隊，同時，也為我們迎戰接續的秋季古典賽增添信心！

「我非常開心，先是西伯格(Marcel Sieberg)和特拉特尼克(Jan Tratnik)順利執行帶衝，最後我以相當好的狀態，為本屆的貝爾諾基盃完美作結。」

「雖然在今年的環東雙海，曾經有過慶祝勝利的時刻，但那場繞圈賽畢竟不算正式比賽；在這個賽季多次拿下前5的成績後，我終於在貝爾諾基盃如願以償。」

「我為自己奪冠的表現感到驕傲，除此之外，也很榮幸能延續科爾布雷利的紀錄，收穫這場比賽的勝利，期待車隊明年回到這場比賽，能順利挑戰四連勝的壯舉！」

當昨夜的突圍遭到瓦解後，出現一個後發的8人集團，歐洲冠軍維維亞尼(Elia Viviani)也在其中，迫使其他車隊加入追擊的工作，巴林美利達也不例外。如同帶隊總監沃爾皮(Alberto Volpi)所言，貝爾諾基盃一直是屬於純衝刺手的戰場，但在繞行賽道的過程中，短陡坡的考驗不斷襲來，對於速度好手來說，還是有不小的挑戰性。

而馮俊凱在團隊的主要任務，正是協助鮑豪斯，取得集團當中靠前的位置，確保他能通過途中的關卡，進而挺進最終的決勝階段。即便個人距離完賽還是差了一步，不過過程當中，阿凱仍成功執行車隊交付的任務，協助主將在爬坡後，回到集團前方的位置，最終也分享了這份勝利的喜悅！

成員們各司其職，扮演好自己的角色，貝爾諾基盃的這座冠軍，是團隊合作的體現。

Phil Bauhaus got to celebrate his first win in an official UCI race in the colours of the BAHRAIN MERIDA PRO CYCLING TEAM at the 101st edition of the Coppa Bernocchi. After almost 200 kilometers he won the bunch sprint in Legnano. At the Vuelta a España two riders of the team rode into the top15 of the overall standings with Dylan Teuns and Hermann Pernsteiner. 

The winning streak of the BAHRAIN MERIDA PRO CYCLING TEAM at the Italian one-day race Coppa Bernocchi continues. In 2017 and 2018, Sonny Colbrelli had sprinted to wins, and this year it was up to Phil Bauhaus to fly the colours of the team. As the designated captain the young German could rely on the support of his experienced compatriot Marcel Sieberg, Chun-kai Feng, Andrea Garosio, Antonio Nibali and Jan Tratnik. The course around Legnano offered opportunities for attackers as well however, as the race went over the Morazzone climb six times. At first an eight-rider lead group took charge of things in the race.

The peloton kept the lead of this group in check, and it brought them back in the finale. From there the team work within the BAHRAIN MERIDA PRO CYCLING TEAM worked flawlessly: Marcel Sieberg led Phil Bauhaus into the final kilometer, and with about 500 meters to go a couple of riders went down right behind them. Phil Bauhaus got away unscathed, jumped to the wheel of an opponent and then timed his acceleration perfectly to beat Italian Simone Consonni to the line in Legnano. Thus he got to celebrate his first win for the team in an official UCI race, since his win at the Adriatica Ionica Race’s city criterium does not count due to the circuit being too short.

At the Vuelta a España Belgian Dylan Teuns and Austrian Hermann Pernsteiner were the strongest and the most active riders of the BAHRAIN MERIDA PRO CYCLING TEAM in the race’s demanding mountain stages. A prime example for this was the penultimate stage when Pernsteiner finished in 4th and Teuns in 7th. Thanks to a couple of top5 finishes in the stages these two moved up to the top15 of the overall standings: Teuns finished the Vuelta a España in 12th in the overall standings with Hermann Pernsteiner in 15th. Another rider who repeatedly made his way into lead groups thanks to his attentative riding was Ukrainian Mark Padun. And Yukiya Arashiro got to finish his 12th career Grand Tour after having suffered serious injuries in a training crash back in spring.
