Pello Bilbao conquers the final general classification of the Tour de Beauce

The Canadian race (2.2) has been dominated from the beginning to the end by the Spanish team, which has also won three stages (two by Barbero and one by Txurruka). But it was in the last stage, with Ben Perry's victory, where Caja Rural hit the jackpot. "In the end, we knew and had the strength to break away with Pello and reach the finish line. We knew it was going to be very difficult, but we had three aces and we took advantage of it. Winning stages is always very difficult, but a general classification is even more so, so it's always very special," commented Josemi Fernández, the team director.

Caja Rural, which now has 12 victories in 2015, closes a fantastic week. Also for Pello Bilbao, who achieved his third victory of the year (after Castilla León and Turkey) and his first general classification of his career: "We tried from far away and luck was on our side. It has been special, I had never been so close to having an opportunity to win a general classification and finally, thanks to the daily work of the whole team, it turned out well."
