 23-YEAR-OLD MAX WALSCHEID (GER) SPRINTED TO HIS SECOND VICTORY IN A ROW AT THE TOUR OF HAINAN. AFTER ANOTHER GREAT LEAD-OUT BY THE TEAM, WALSCHEID TOOK AN EMPHATIC WIN IN THE BUNCH SPRINT. HE EXTENDS HIS LEAD IN THE GENERAL AND POINTS CLASSIFICATION. Max after the race said: "I'm really happy to have won today and to keep the positive momentum going. The guys rode another fantastic race and we were always in control at the front of the peloton.
"The bunch sprint was a bit more hectic compared to yesterday with a slightly uphill finish, and a fight for position with other teams. I managed to find a gap with 500 meters to go and then I went full speed to the finish line. I am delighted with my second victory in two days and am really grateful to the team."
