Tinkoff Take Tour Of Croatia Team Time Trial

Tinkoff took the Team Trial at the Tour Of Croatia on Saturday.

The Russian team finished the 40.3km course in a time of 49.36 to beat fellow Russian team Gazprom Rusvelo by four seconds.

Synergy Baku Cycling Project which contained the race leader Matija Kvasina finished thirty one seconds down. They suffered a crash on the wet roads from Porec to Umag but Kvasina avoided it and led his team home to keep his place in the leader's red and white jersey going into the final stage.

This is a dream come true. Synergy Baku has proven what our small well-played team is capable of doing,” said Kvasina to his team's press office. “Millions of thanks to all my teammates and to our sponsors for giving us the chance to be here. It is one winner but there was great work done by the whole team, both riders and staff.”

“Let’s now survive the last stage and then we can enjoy it a little bit, but with our whole focus on the Tour d’Azerbaidjan.”
