– There is such an opportunity, because the guys are now announced for the Spanish club. The organizers allowed them to perform. In addition, they are runners who have always been good competitors. This six-day event is one of the highlights of the summer track season and is used by many to prepare for key races. The points will not go to the country rating, but to the individual rating – yes. Hopefully these glasses will be useful to our guys in the future, – said the President of the Russian Cycling Federation Vyacheslav Ekimov TV game.
