Polartec U19 Team, on a par with the best European teams in its latest expedition to France
Marc Brustenga, with a spectacular victory in the prologue of the Ain Bugey Tour, inaugurated a great week for the Polartec Junior Team in France. The team also added a seventh place in the final overall for Carlos García, who has managed to rub shoulders with the best promises of the European peloton.
Only one second behind Brustenga finished the other specialist of the team, Joan Martí Bennassar, completing the first day Carlos García, who made possible the team victory in the 2 km prologue that started the race.
Carlos García became Polartec’s leader when he made the decisive cut in the first stage, where the race was decided among the strongest riders of this select peloton. In turn, Marc Brustenga was able to demonstrate his speed in the tight sprint of the fourth stage, which was decided by the photo finish.
The race, after the first selection, was decided on the queen stage, the last of the six days of competition, with four mountain passes. Carlos García once again confirmed expectations by riding with the strongest men, which earned him a phenomenal seventh place finish.
