Jon Aberasturi maintains the lead in the Tour of Hungary despite suffering a fall

The Vitorian Jon Aberasturi (Caja Rural) will continue to lead the general classification of the Return to Hungary, despite suffering a fall this Sunday in the final kilometers of the second stage. An accident that prevented the Spaniard, who had already won the sprint on the first day, from fighting for the stage win, which was for the Italian Jakub Mareczko (CCC).

«The attitude of the boys is being very positive. Yesterday everyone worked for Jon in search of victory and today everyone has thrown themselves into wrapping him up. In the absence of confirming the damage from today’s fall, I am sure that it is in good condition, it will continue fighting“Said the director of Caja Rural, Rubén Martínez, in statements released by the team.

Without the presence of Aberasturi, the victory in the stage, with a completely flat profile and 158 kilometers of route between the towns of Debrecen and Hajduszoboszlo, corresponded to the Italian Mareczko (CCC), ahead of his compatriots Matteo Moschetti (Trek-Segafredo), second, and Luca Pacioni (Androni), third.

Aberasturi will start the third stage of the Magyar round, which will be held this Monday between Karcag y Nyiregyhaza with a distance of 180 kilometers, with a five-second advantage in the classification over the Hungarian Andras Szamarty (Hungarian National Team), who climbed to second place thanks to the bonuses achieved throughout the day.
