Cox leads Barloworld squad for Qinghai Lake Tour

Tour de Langkawi winner Ryan Cox will attempt to take his second Asian 2.HC event of the season when he spearheads the Team Barloworld-Valsir squad in the Tour of Qinghai Lake in China, which begins on Saturday, July 16.

The South African champion came out best in the nine-day race last season when American Philip Zajicek, the initial winner, was disqualified for taking the banned substance cathine. Cox had finished 48 seconds behind the Navigators Insurance rider in the general classification. He missed out on the chance to wear the final yellow jersey on the podium, and so will be motivated to win the event from the front this year.
