Wout Poels flushed his non-selection for the Giro d'Italia this afternoon with a stage victory in the final stage of
Tour de Hongrie. However, the
Bahrain - Victorious leader did meet some ups and downs on Sunday, before he was able to enjoy the sweet taste of victory.
"I was suffering a lot," he admits in the flash interview. "I was on a small gap the whole time, but I could ride at my own pace. Fortunately, things leveled off a bit in the last 150 meters, so I was able to take the victory."
