Teplice/Zinnwald – Still at the third stage of this year’s Course de la Paix Juniors, the field arrived to the finish duly splitted. The hilly stage in Krusne Hory Mountains checked the physical maturity of the riders. The difficult climbings had been after all mastered by the French juvenile Elie Gesbert who arrived to the finish in Zinnwald, Germany pretty alone and in a masterful way. The Dane Pedersen hasn’t allowed to anybody to get himself undressed.
