Alexander Salby won the 7th and last stage of the Tropicale Amissa Bongo. Third of the second stage and second of the third, our young Danish rider achieved in Libreville his first UCI victory. Our team finished the Gabonese race on a very good note with a 2nd place of Louis Blouwe in the first stage, a 3rd and a 2nd of Alexander Salby on the third and second day, a 5th place of Louis Blouwe in the fourth stage and the wins of Karl-Patrick Lauk and Alxander Salby in the last two stages. Alexis Guérin finished 7th overall, Lennert Teugels won the KOM classification and Louis Blouwe finished 4th in the youth classification. Bingoal-WB finished second behind TotalEnergies -in the same time- in the team classification.

Alexander Salby. « In the final circuit, I told my team mates that I felt really good. I explained how I wanted to organize the sprint, by starting from behind. We timed the leadout and I had the punch to go for the win. The team did really well for me. We had Lennert in the breakway, my team mates worked a lot for me, keeping me out of the wind, bringing me some ice so I could cool down from the heat. I am extremely happy with this Tropicale Amissa Bongo, with a great team result and, on a personal level, two podiums and a win, my first UCI win, which means so must to me. » (Pictures TAB2023)
