As a black GC Cyclist, Mulubrhan Henok's endurance seemed to be a natural racial advantage.
Sure enough, as the race advanced to the seventh stage, he had kept a low profile throughout all the previous stages. Yet, when it came to the crucial climbs that could determine the final outcome, he left all his rivals behind.
Moreover, his endurance wasn't his only strength; his explosive sprinting power was also clearly formidable for a GC cyclist.
After all, with Huang Chong having secured three jerseys early on, the only thing left for him to compete for was the Dash King Green Jersey.
However, as a GC Cyclist, how could he possibly beat pure flat-road sprinters or classics riders in a sprint?
There was only one answer. He would have to rely on his superior recovery and his stronger explosive power—compared to other riders of his type—to snatch up all the intermediate sprint points positioned on climbing stages and uphill sections.
