If the top staff of NSN were surprised by Nadav Reisberg’s excellent performances in one of the world’s most prestigious stage races, one thing is certain, he was not among those surprised. The Israeli cyclist finished another successful day today (Thursday) in the Tour de Dauphiné.

“I have always believed that if I get the chance to achieve results and not just work for others, I will deliver. So if anyone is really surprised by me, I definitely do not share that surprise. I have the ability, and I am glad to show it,” said the kibbutznik from the NSN cycling team after another outstanding performance in the fifth stage of the Tour of the Alps.

As noted, Reisberg took the green jersey already in the second stage, but few gave him a chance to keep defending it. Well, today he defended it in the most impressive way possible, finishing seventh in the race, collecting points and reaching 54, which opened a real chance to keep the jersey.

Even so, after the race Reisberg kept his feet on the ground: “There is still a lot of work ahead, but if I win the intermediate sprint tomorrow, I’ll be in a much better position to keep it at least until the final stage.”
