  • Ron 

Bahrain-Merida clinched their first win in 2019 as Simon Colbrelli took the 4th stage of the 2019 Tour of Oman in a sprint.

“I’m very happy,” the Italian rider commented. “I was looking for the victory and it arrived! My thanks go to all my teammates who have given me a lot of help during all day long. I knew the last km and I started sprinting at the right time. It was all perfect!

“In recent days, I suffered a lot of heat and only today I had the right feelings. I have to thank Greg Van Avarmaet who did not lock me up in the sprint, he was a true gentleman. Now I look with more confidence at the classics in Belgium and Milan-Sanremo. My condition is growing day by day”.

“I’m very happy with how the whole team worked,” explained Bahrain Merida DS Alberto Volpi, “and all of today’s efforts have been finalized by Sonny’s great sprint. I had said that it was a suitable ending for him and today he showed all his qualities, I am glad also that our first win of 2019 came right in this part of the world not far from Bahrain.”
