Team Vorarlberg in third place in the final classification of the Cycling League 2024
With stage 14 today on today’s fourth and final stage over 84 kilometers in the middle of Istanbul, the Italian Alexander Konychev fixed the hoped-for top ten place in the overall standings of the UCI 2.1 Tour. The 26-year-old had almost made it even further forward. But Team Vorarlberg can be satisfied with ninth place against the World Tour and Pro teams.
“I wanted to risk everything again today and went all out in all the bonus sprints. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to make up any more time. But I’m still satisfied because the last few days were really fast and aggressive!” said Alexander Konychev
The overall winner was the Frenchman Mathieu Bourgaudeau (Total-Energies), ahead of the Italian Alessandro Romele from Team Astana. Tomorrow the team travels back home after the last tour of the year.
