Serghei Tvetcov won Romanian championships with a big solo ride. This alone wouldn't raise many eyebrows as the Denver Disruptors rider was one of the big favourites to take the win. However the 34-year old Tvetcov shocked everyone when he revealed, that he was dealing with blood cancer last year.
"I am very happy to have won that title and the race after a difficult time in my life. In September last year, I was diagnosed with blood cancer (CML). With the support of my family, NCL Denver Disruptors team, and modern medication, I am able to race my bike and be competitive," revealed the Romanian.
