The latest signing for Team Bahrain Victorious, Matevž Govekar, also put in a solid ITT taking fourth overall and becomes the U23 Slovenian ITT National Champion: ”I am happy with today’s race, I made the first real chronometer since I have been on a road bike, so I am very happy. But I am still behind the best riders, wat ith means that I will have a lot of work to do in the future. I enjoyed the Team Bahrain Victorious jersey which made my first real result in it.”
