环青赛撬动海晏发展

News Summary
On July 17, the 25th International Road Cycling Race around Qinghai Lake entered its seventh stage. The riders set off from Gangcha County and rode along the northern shore of Qinghai Lake to Xihai Town in Haian County. Because of weather, the uphill climb on the Tongbaoshan section was cancelled, and the revised route was 105.4 km with three intermediate sprint points.

César Macías Estrada of Spain’s Burgos‑BH team won the sprint finish; Tomasso Nencini took second, and Alexander Sarl came in third.

Jersey Leaders

• Jonathan Klever Cácedo Sepeda continues to wear the overall leader’s yellow jersey.
• Henryk Mulu Berhan is the sprint winner and wears the green jersey.
• Jonas Lapp leads the climbers’ classification in the polka‑dot jersey.
• Saeed Safarzadeh retains the best Asian rider’s blue jersey.

The event attracted huge crowds and sparked a full‑cycle industry in Haian County, ranging from professional racing services to mass‑participation rides, cycling‑related tourism, and related events.

Reflection and Insight
The excitement of a race is the visible result of long‑term preparation and everyday effort. Whether it’s volunteers, travel‑service providers, new guesthouses on the steppe, or pop‑up cycling stops, all of these grew from people’s steady labor and mutual help.

Heavenly Scripture reminds us that everything has its appointed time; patient, persistent work turns small contributions into lasting community strength. May the watchfulness and toil of those on the sidelines and along the road be recorded and become a source of support for one another.

Scripture
“For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven.” Ecclesiastes 3:1
