He has been behind women\u2019s cycling for so many years. To honour his support of women\u2019s cycling with a 1-2-3, with his team is really great,\u201d Moolman-Pasio said.<\/p>\n<p>The three Cerv\u00e9lo Bigla riders together with an athlete from the German national team made up the day\u2019s breakaway. The race consisted of a 33 kilometre circuit that was navigated three times, featuring a tough 5 kilometre climb.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was an incredible race by the team. We came here as a Bigla sponsored team at a Bigla event to win and of course to go for 1-2-3,\u201d Moolman-Pasio explained. \u201cWe did a good lead out into the first climb. That\u2019s where the race exploded. Clara and myself rode away with one German and Lotta crossed over. That was the situation for most of the race. We cooperated quite well together and extended the lead on the group. The last time up the climb, I attacked and got away. Lotta came across on the descent and I waited for her towards the end and we came together to the finish line.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s really nice to take the win after a tough Spring campaign. Even though it\u2019s not a UCI race, it\u2019s a real privilege to win the home race for Bigla,\u201d Moolman-Pasio concluded.<\/p>\n<p>Lisa Klein won the bunch sprint taking fifth on the day to make it an even more impressive team performance. The team stays in Switzerland for Sunday\u2019s SwissEver GP Cham-Hagedorn.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Cerv\u00e9lo Bigla Pro Cycling Team emulated its performance in the previous edition of Berner Rundfahrt by again taking all three positions in the Suisse race.
