Paul Wright in red, Appelbaum in 10th place.
At the Tour of Romania, Paul Wright from REMBE Pro Cycling™ Team Sauerland brought his red jersey of the best sprinter to the finish line. Things went just as well for his young team colleague Henri Appelbaum. He was able to defend his 10th place in the overall ranking, which he had fought for in the mountain stages. After the five stages from Alba Julia to Bucharest, the East Westphalian was only 1:38 minutes behind the Kazakh Ilkhan Dostiyev from the Astana Team. “We have achieved our goals for the race,” said sporting director Greg Henderson with satisfaction. “Where we could have been at the front, we were there. Of course we would have been happy with a stage win, but for that we would have had to have a pure sprinter in the team,” added the New Zealander.
