RusVelo’s chief ITT specialist Artem Ovechkin won a 8.8 km-long opening stage against the clock in the UCI 2.1 Tour of Slovenia taking the yellow jersey that came with it. He rode the course set against the capital city landscape of Ljubljana at an average speed slightly shy of 51 kmh. One of the legendary Sky’s train powerful engines Salvatore Puccio stopped the clock just mere hundredth of a second later; his compatriot, four-times Giro d’Italia stage winner Diego Ulissi finished third, two seconds behind. Three more RusVelo riders, Artem Nych, Alexander Serov and Artur Ershov made top-30, which put the squad in the 4th position of team standings, higher than any other pro-continental formation.
