The Tour of Morocco has been a real roller coaster ride for Kirill. He won the first stage and so took the leader's jersey. He held on to it on the second stage. On stage 3 he was held up by a crash, promping the rival teams up ahead to attack, and he lost a lot of time.
But we know our doughty Russian-turned-Azeri would not be daunted by that! Today, stage 4, was the Queen Stage, and Kirill and teammate Josip Rumac were in a four-man break group with a very large gap -- and Kirill went on to win the stage. No word yet on GC.... and Josip may have won the KOM.
A frustratingly long wait for the official results!
