In addition to winning the overall championship, Aaron Murray Gate was also the winner of the third and fourth stages of the Tour of Hainan.
"I came from the Olympic Games racing on the Velodrome a few weeks ago, and it was good that I was still able to perform well in the high humidity and temperature, because it's quite a different climate to where I've come from in Europe."Gate said.
