Ready to take learnings from Taihu Lake into Japan

Team Novo Nordisk wrapped up the five stage Tour of Taihu Lake earlier today. 11 riders made it to the finish with a slender advantage over the peloton and contested the win amongst themselves.

Hamish Beadle was the first rider home for the world’s first all diabetes cycling team, just missing out on a top 20 position in 24th. The stage was from Nanjing to Jiangning over 114 km on a circuit, making for another fast day.

Hamish Beadle:

Yeah, it’s been a bit of a frustrating week for us, but we have learned a bit and it’s been good to build a bit of form before our final race in Japan. The sensations today for a lot of us were good, and the numbers reflect this. So we will rest a little and then full gas for Japan.

The team will now turn its attention to the final race of the season, the Japan Cup Road Race on 20 October.
