Mareczko: Late-season success important step ahead of Giro debut
Jakub Mareczko (Southeast) has enjoyed a brilliant end to his debut season as a professional with eight victories in 18 days of competition. The Italian sprinter laid claim to seven stage wins and the overall classification at the Tour of Taihu Lake plus another stage of the Tour of Hainan, performances that have given him huge confidence with a Grand Tour debut on the horizon.
"Coming here I had no idea I would win so much,” Mareczko told Cyclismactu. “From the start, I announced that the general was my goal, but I have led the way stage by stage. Between Tour of Hainan and the Tour of Taihu, I had eighteen days of racing, almost without interruption. I had never done this before.

“This is an important step in my career for my debut at the Giro d’Italia. I know now that I can go the distance, but I also know I will face other opponents and different routes. I would love to come back to Asia for the Tour de Langkawi which could well be my first goal in 2016. In any case, I enjoyed my first experience in China."
