The sportsmen have covered a distance of almost 500 kilometers for five days of the cycle race. The city of Esentuki became the route terminal point. On the main square of the city there was held a solemn meeting devoted to arrival of the cyclists. The representatives of the city administration and local residents met the atomic scientists.
As was said by organizer of the cycle race, Master of Sports of the USSR, Deputy Director for HR of the Rostov NPP Gennady Fomenko, it was significant, that the cycle race was held at the level of Rosenergoatom Concern JSC. “First of all, it is a possibility to communicate to the colleagues from different NPPs and to exchange experience with them. It would be desirable, that every year the number of participants of the cycle races is increased”, - Gennady Valentinovich said.
