Vadim Pronskiy Secures Third Place in Adriatica Ionica Race

Kazakh rider Vadim Pronskiy of Astana Qazaqstan Team showcased his determination and skill in the Adriatica Ionica Race, finishing in third place in the challenging summit stage atop Monte Grappa.

Pronskiy made a strategic move, attacking with 2 kilometers to go. However, the stage ultimately came down to a sprint finish among a small group of general classification contenders. Natnael Tesfatsion emerged victorious, with Filippo Zana and Pronskiy following closely behind.

“Well, I did all I could today, but I can’t say that this climb suited me really well. The first part was pretty steep, while later there was always up and down all the way to the top. I tried to attack with two kilometers to go, but it was difficult to open a gap in this kind of final. Besides, I missed some freshness in the legs as I still feel a bit tired after the finish of the Giro. Yeah, the legs were working good and I was feeling strong enough to stay up there in front with the best riders, but at the same time I was feeling the Giro in the legs too. However, today we spent a good day together with the team and I thank my teammates for the help. There are still three days in the race, and I will keep on fighting to bring the best possible result to the team,” said Vadim Pronskiy, who moved up to third position in the General Classification of Adriatica Ionica Race.

With his impressive performance, Pronskiy now holds the third position in the General Classification of the Adriatica Ionica Race. The race continues for three more days, and Pronskiy is determined to achieve the best possible result for his team.
