The Tour Down Under proved to be a successful event for Pello Bilbao, as his determined efforts were rewarded with a stage victory, as well as third place in the general classification of the race.
He ended the final stage of the race in the 7th position. “In the end, I just did the last climb, thinking of the podium and trying to pull in the back and secure for the third place because I could not do more, really,” said Bilbao after the race.
Despite the rigours and pressures of the competition, he made certain to relish in the experience, and with an eye towards the future, he harbors aspirations of returning in the ensuing year to once again test his mettle against his rivals. “I really enjoy this race. I think the organizer made super interesting parcours. It’s a nice race for time trialist, puncheurs, sprinters, climbers and everybody,” explains spaniard.
“It is difficult to ask more for a race in just six stages. It is a nice race, maybe I will come back for next year,” concluded Bilbao.
