Endura Racing’s Jonathan Tiernan-Locke has finished 2nd in the Tour of Murcia after the time trial today where he was 14th.
Jon went into the stage in third overall but a decent time trial on the team’s specialist TT bike from Giant was enough to see him move up to second overall and overtake Wouter Poels. The result means he has won two and finished second out of three high ranking UCI stage races in 2012.
It was a good day for Endura Racing with Alexander Wetterhall finishing the stage in third behind winner Alexander Serov of Russia. Locke finshed the stage 22 seconds shy of Serov to be the second placed rider from Endura Racing on the stage. Jon Locke said afterwards to VeloUK, “I pretty much hate time trials, but I know I can go okay so I was well motivated for the race.”
“To be just six seconds off the GC is a shame especially as I lost more time yesterday than I had to but a podium finish is great. I was hoping to hang on to finish in the top 10! Alex (Wetterhall) was super strong today and so close to the win for Endura Racing!”
