Kazakhstan return with powerful young team for Milk Rás

LAST year a bunch of young riders from Kazakhstan and Sweden took the FBD Milk Rás by storm.

In so doing they won the hearts of fans around the country as they battled it out in the rain and cold on the mountains and the gruelling marathon stages.

At the end of the day the Kazakhstan team were rewarded with two riders in the first three on the most mountainous stage from Letterkenny to Buncrana and they ended up second to Sweden in the international team classification.
