With a stage win at Glenshee Ski Centre, Israel–Premier Tech rider Corbin Strong is off to a good start in the Tour of Britain.
The rider joined the team this year but has struggled to add any victories to his achievements. So taking his maiden win of the season is quite special for him. “It’s an awesome feeling to win. This season hasn’t gone all to plan. My first season with Israel-Premier Tech has included a lot of ups and downs, but the team keeps believing in me, and the riders keep believing in me, and I’m happy to finally show I can win at this level. I hope it’s not the last," Strong said.
He took Omar Fraile by surprise, who was leading the peloton in the final few hundred meters. He jumped ahead of everyone to start the tour with a victory. “I was a bit out of position with 300m to go, but then I got on the Ineos lead-out train. I looked up and saw 150 meters to go. The adrenaline kicked in, and I knew I was in a position to win, so I just gave it my all. I couldn’t believe it when I crossed the line first and that I finally have a result I can be proud of,” concluded Strong.
