Astana Qazaqstan Team trainee Gleb Syritsa impressed in his debut race for the Kazakh team, finishing second in Stage 1 of the Arctic Race of Norway. In a tough uphill sprint in Mo i Rana, Syritsa crossed the finish line just behind the stage winner, Frenchman Axel Zingle.
Syritsa recognized the support of his team and expressed his satisfaction with his performance. He said, “First of all, I would like to thank my team for their great support during this stage, especially in the final part of the distance. I was able to save some energy and stay quite fresh inside the last 20 kilometers. The weather conditions were quite tough, but honestly, I like the rain, so I felt good today. The last kilometer was a hard one, but I managed to get a good position for the sprint and finish second. This kind of short uphills showed I can fight for a high result, but at the same time, I feel like I can improve a lot.”
