June 03, 2012 (Philadelphia) – Team Type 1-Sanofi rider Aleksandr Serebryakov won the TD Bank Philadelphia International Championship on Sunday, raising his hands across the finish line first, followed by teammates Aldo Ino Ilesic right behind and Daniele Colli in for fourth.
“This was my third race in America, and it was a victory on a great American team in a great American city. I can’t thank my teammates and the staff enough, everything worked today like clockwork,” Serebryakov said.
Ilesic, from Slovenia, lead out Serebryakov on the final lap with almost 500m remaining to the line, and moved away from a leftward drifting peloton to power up the right side of the final section of road.
Team Type 1-Sanofi General Manager Vassili Davidenko said Sunday’s results, which included Team Type 1-Sanofi rider Kiel Reijnen winning the King of the Mountain intermediate sprints up Manayunk Avenue, were the result of terrific teamwork.
“On Saturday we talked at the team meeting about the KOM competition, how it was just up there, open, waiting to be claimed. Kiel had great form at the US Nationals last week, and so from the start in Philly today he made sure to write his name on Manayunk Wall every time we came through. When we saw that he had the KOM jersey today all sewn up in the middle of the race, that gave us the confidence to go to the front and chase down a breakaway as a team. Joe Eldridge, Aleksandr Efimkin, Joey Rosskopf and Martijn Verschoor all worked all day to keep those three sprinters fresh for the finish, and the result is a victory in America’s biggest one-day race,” Davidenko said.
Team Type 1-Sanofi CEo and Founder Phil Southerland praised the victory in a city just days away from the largest annual gathering of international diabetes specialists in the world.
“The 72nd Scientific Sessions of the American Diabetes Association will bring 13,000 endocrinologists, pharmacists, research scientists, diabetes nurses and educators to Philadelphia from June 8 to the 12th, and then send them back home to more than 100 countries with new ideas, technology and hope for people with this disease.
“We are so proud to have brought Team Type 1-Sanofi to the top step of the podium today at the TD Bank Philadelphia International Championship on June 3 to be able to provide definitive proof that diabetes is no obstacle to an extraordinary life,” Southerland said.
