Fuyu Li from Trek - Marco Polo Cycling Team starting his prologue which brought him a second place in the Tour of Qinghai Lake with huge crowds watching the race. Li Fuyu of Trek-Marco Polo became the ‘hero of the day’ in the prologue of Tour of Qinghai Lake. His 2nd place between seasoned professionals Mizourov and Hondo is a spectacular result for a Chinese rider.

Mizourov of Tabriz Petrochemical team won the prologue. It took Mizourov 5 minutes 41 seconds to cover the 4.8 kilometre course in Xining (just over 50 km/h average). Li Fuyu’s time was 5 minutes 48. Danilo Hondo rounded up the podium, with a 3rd place I 5 minutes 50.

Li Fuyu comes from Shandong province (thousands of kilometers from Qinghai Lake), was brought up in Trek - Marco Polo ranks and raced for Discovery Channel Pro Tour squad in 2007, when the teams cooperated. The China Games are the main goal for Li Fuyu this year, as the event (held once every four years) is in Shandong in 2009. Li Fuyu won the China Games road race in 2005. Mizourov (former Telekom, Marcatone Uno, Astana) will be counting on the support of his strong Iranian Tabriz-team. The team won the team overall and climbers jersey last year.   Fuyu Li from Trek - Marco Polo Cycling Team the time trial Champion from China concentrating for his prologue which brought him a second place in the Tour of Qinghai Lake.
